Reflecting on the past few months, we are filled with immense happiness and pride. Together with you, our dedicated volunteers, we have achieved so much. It is equally gratifying to see our efforts recognised beyond Poland’s borders.
The Orchestra: A Household Name
In an article for Anadolu Agency, Jo Harper highlights the phenomenon of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (GOCC). He underscores the resilience and determination with which the organisation has supported Polish healthcare for over 30 years, despite facing numerous challenges. Harper notes that it is estimated one in five pieces of equipment in Polish hospitals has been provided by the GOCC Foundation.
Global Recognition of Our Volunteers
Our fantastic volunteers also caught the attention of foreign media. Each year, they energise their local communities in support of the GOCC’s goals. Media outlets in the Netherlands and Ireland (here & here) have praised the proactive spirit of everyone involved in the Orchestra’s activities.
Spotlight on Pol'and'Rock Festival
The World's Most Beautiful Festival, Pol'and'Rock Festival, consistently garners the most attention from international journalists. This event has been frequently listed among the largest music festivals in Europe and the world. Publications like Metro, Let's Roam, Ticket Fairy, Skiddle, and TheFestivals have all written about our festival.
A standout moment for the Foundation and our community was an article by Maeve Campbell in The Guardian. The article featured eight European festivals organised by non-profits with a higher purpose. We are thrilled that Pol'and'Rock Festival was recognised as one of these exceptional events. It’s a joy to know that, along with the Most Beautiful Audience in the World, we can create such a remarkable event.
Thank You for Your Support
We are grateful for the many wonderful messages we receive, even from far corners of the globe! There is no doubt that the Orchestra, with this incredible team, will continue to perform in harmony, just as it always has.
Thank you for being part of this journey!

Get ready for the Friday wrap-up!
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!

An orange crowd of runners hit the streets of Warsaw
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.
