PLN 14 million for children's ophthalmology
On 5 December, we organized the 68th Open Tender dedicated to the aim of the 30th Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, i.e. paediatric ophthalmology.
It seems that in the recent years cash money has become obsolote, because everyone is carrying debit and credit cards nowadays. We have often heard that people franticly search for the nearest ATM... loosing the GOCC volunteers from their sight in the process. That's why we decided to meet the demant for cashless translations and provide the volunteers with portable payment terminals. With the help of Pekao S.A. Bank and Mastercard we were able to provide volunteers, working in 70 cities in the country with payment terminals.
If you happen to be out and about on the 15th of January in Białystok, Jelenia Góra, Łódź, Poznań, Szczecin, Tri-city, Warsaw, or Wrocław - or in any other of the 70 cites, where we raise funds using cashless payments you will be able to donate using your credit or debit card via regular or touchless payment. It is a simple, easy, and very quick to make a secure donation, which will go toward supporting our mission of purchasing equipment for genral peadiatrics and geriatric and long-term care units in the country.
