We have purchased 20 devices for a total of PLN 14,138,131.80. The equipment will be donated to 8 facilities in 6 cities in Poland - Kraków, Warszawa, Gdańsk, Poznań, Katowice, and Białystok.

mgr inż. Marcin Gostyński (Szczecin)
The purchase was made possible thanks to the funds raised during the 30th Grand Finale - the final result of the fundraiser was PLN 224,376,706.35.
It was the fourth Open Tender this year and the last one before the 32nd Grand Finale in January 2024!
For each piece of equipment to be purchased, the Committee of Experts and the Board of the GOCC Foundation analyse each offer three times. The first input is the initial presentation of the offer. The second input is to provide details about the subject of the order. In the third input, discussions are held with each bidder on the proposed unit price of the equipment.
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 Light to the Sky of this year dazzled with a contemporary and breathtaking display! The tradition lives on in a brand new form, as people from Poland and beyond come together to symbolically channel positive energy and wishes for hope to the good angels.
Nowadays, there are many ways to support GOCC, and most of it does not even require leaving home! So if the winter aura is not encouraging you to leave your home, here are some tips on how you can still support the 32nd GOCC Grand Finale.
