Jurek Owsiak, the chairman of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation, announced the objective of the winter fundraising drive. Our charity will focus on raising money to buy medical equipment for paediatric otorhinolaryngology, head diagnostics.
Thirteen years have passed since we raised money for laryngology and otorhinolaryngology. In 2008, when we raised money to buy equipment to treat children with hearing defects, we managed to collect USD 14 000 000. We used these funds to purchase equipment such as nasofiberscopes, nasal endoscopes for nose and sinus surgeries, and ultrasonic nebulizers. Thirteen years of use means that these devices are no longer in working order. We receive plenty of requests for modern diagnostics equipment. Doctors stress the need for equipment which is not only top-tier when it comes to technological properties but also ensure maximal comfort of little patients. What is more, as air pollution and coronavirus put a severe strain on our respiratory tracts, we realize that effective diagnostics and treatment become more important than ever.
- Lidia Niedźwiedzka-Owsiak, medical affairs director of the GOCC
We aim to use the funds to buy:
These state-of-the-art devices are all necessary to perform complicated ENT surgeries. These devices are gear we rely on during complicated ENT procedures, and if doctors have access to the best and most modern surgical tools, they can significantly limit the complications. We can speed up the treatment and improve the recovery time for our youngest patients.
- Tomas Grochowski from Memorial Children's Hospital.
The 29th edition of Grand Finale fundraiser will take place on Sunday, January 10th. The online broadcast of the traditional, vibrant telethon will begin on Saturday.
We have been delighted to play Santa Claus to the sisters of St Dominic, who run a care home for orphaned disabled boys in Broniszewice. We donated a modern, fully insured van to the care home.
The lion's share of online collections started already on the first of December, giving our donors the opportunity to take part in the 30th Finale of the Great Orchestra, two whole months before the last Sunday of January.
This coming Sunday both in Poland and all over the world, our volunteers will be fundraising in aid of our charity. How to recognize the volunteers helping out hold 30th Grand Finale?
