The 32nd Grand Finale is just a week away!

2024-01-21 15:14:00

 

Only 7 days remain until the Summer Blaze in January begins! We will gather together again in a heart-warming atmosphere of kindness and joy - and this time to play for pulmonology units across Poland! Here is the most important information about the 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. We are all in tune!

 

 

The 32nd Grand Finale's theme - what is our goal?

 

The goal of the upcoming fundraising, launched at the end of October 2023, is “Post-pandemic lungs”. The GOCC will take care of the purchase of equipment for the diagnosis, monitoring, and rehabilitation of patients' lung diseases in pulmonology units for kids and adults. Across Poland, there are 64 such units. The GOCC aims to purchase the medical equipment for:

  • diagnostic imaging - g. magnetic resonance and ultrasound equipment
  • functional diagnostics - e.g. polysomnographs and portable spirometers
  • endoscopic diagnostics - e.g. bronchoscopy systems for endobronchial navigation and bronchoscopes
  • rehabilitation - equipment for pulmonary rehabilitation used in the treatment of patients after lung transplantation
  • thoracic surgery -g. electrocoagulation systems and cryoprobes

 

The GOCC Collection Centres in Poland and abroad - places where the Orchestra will play!

 

The registration of the 32nd Grand Finale Collection Centres closed at the end of November 2023. The registered Collection Centres will be active not only in Poland, but also outside our country! Each year, the GOCC Grand Finale is made possible thanks to the engagement of our Collection Centres - local hubs of activity that bring together activists interested in contributing to the Orchestra's fundraising. These Collection Centres accept volunteers' applications and organise fundraising among the local community! They always aspire to operate on a broader scale, organise additional events and activities as well!

The 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will engage 1685 Collection Centres altogether (32 more than last year). 100 of them are located outside of Poland. The Grand Finale will be organised in the United Kingdom, the United States, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Indonesia, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, Japan, Spain, Croatia, Australia, Thailand, Luxembourg, Canada, the Czech Republic, Singapore, Egypt, and Cyprus.

 

The joyful tones of the Orchestra spread to the edges of the world! The “Arctowski” Collection Centre started its activities at the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station, managed by the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, over 14 000 km away from Warsaw. On the North Pole, the Polish Polar Station Hornsund named after Stanisław Siedlecki, managed by the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, also plays with us!

The 18th “Get Even with Diabetes Run” - how to combine charity with sporting activity?

 

The “Get Even with Diabetes Run” will be part of the GOCC Grand Finale for the 18th time. The registration for the event - both for the run through the streets of Warsaw and for the virtual run, in which a 5 km distance can be covered at any place and time - traditionally started on World Diabetes Day.

 

The run is carried out in three forms:

  • a run through the streets of Warsaw, which takes place on 28 January
  • a virtual run, where it is the participant who indicates the place and date (between 22 and 28 January) for completing the 5 km distance
  • a run organized by the local Collection Centre (Collection Centres' events take place between 15 December and 28 January)
