You are on your way to work, rushing through a crowded train station, walking around a shopping centre when a kid approaches you as asks - 'would you like to learn first aid?' What would you do? Stop and learn, of course! In 2013 we decided to celebrate World First Aid Day and put our own spin on it. We decided to show the public how and easy and fun learning CPR can actually be. We set up little stalls in cities across Poland where we aimed to offer quick introductory lessons to CPR...but rather than have adults instructing we invited school children, who have been taught how to do CPR at schools participating in our educational programme. Adults were amazed at how professional and put together our youngest instructors proved to be! And after all, learning first aid can be a child's play, regardless of how old you actually are!
Our charity has been raising money to buy medical equipment for children's medicine for almost 30 years. We have raised over PLN 1.5 billion and donated over 65 200 medical devices. We also initiated and help run 8 medical initiatives and one educational programme.
From the very beginning of our charitable work, we focused our efforts on helping medics care for the most vulnerable patients. We want to improve the conditions at public medical facilities nationwide. Our medical programmes became stepping stones in the development of paediatrics in Poland.
Our charity has been fundraising for almost 30 years. In the 29 years of our activity, we managed to raise an impressive sum of over PLN 1.5 billion! Let's see how the fundraiser progressed from the very beginning of our work up till the new, record setting result of 2021 fundraiser.
We can now reveal the date of the next year's Grand Finale fundraiser. The charitable collection will take place on the 30th of January 2022, marking the 30th anniversary of our work. The medical objective will be revealed later this year.
