The amazing people working at the Collection Centre in Brussels came up with an idea to organise a meeting of volunteers and activists involving in running Grand Finale fundraisers in ten different countries across the globe. Not only did the representatives of the Collection Centre had the opportunity to exchange ideas, tips, and tricks on running a fundraiser outside its home country, but also they got to talk about their work with the team from the Foundation.
One thing was putting a face to a name and meeting people who took it upon themselves to make Grand Finale events happen in Belgium, Germany, Norway, England, Scotland, the US, the Netherlands, and Ireland. We got to spend 3 days with some of the most driven and enthusiastic people on the planet, who manage - despite all odds - organise vibrant celebrations for their communities.
41 days before the 32nd Grand Finale and our annual collection is already peaking! PLN 1,108,427 has already powered our fundraiser held in aid of respiratory units across Poland!
For the eighteenth time, Jurek Owsiak, this time from the final stage on the PGE Narodowy meadows in Warsaw, opened the joyful run under the same slogan "Get Even with Diabetes". Crowds of running enthusiasts, after a five-kilometre route through the streets of Warsaw, will reach the finish line located in the same place.
The merry tunes of the Great Orchestra reach the world's ends! Our melody of solidarity and friendship will once again play across the globe thanks to our amazing volunteers. What are the colours of the wind coming from both the poles?
