Imagine that you are on your way to work, rushing through a crowded train station, or walking around a shopping centre, when a kid approaches you and 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 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 on CPR. But rather than have adults teaching adults, we invited school children, who have been taught how to do CPR at schools participating in our educational programme, to be the instructors. 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!
The declared amount at the end of the 32nd Grand Finale day was PLN 175,426,813. Today, we have achieved the expected result in our fundraiser's account. However, it is not over yet. We continue to tally the funds. The final result will be revealed on 27 March!
The Valentine’s Day mood got us all. Looking at our Orchestra's red heart today, we think particularly warmly about all our volunteers and supporters! Thanks to you, we have been "playing" for the past 30 years
The emotions after the 32nd Grand Finale are slowly going down. Jurek Owsiak summarized the latest edition of the Summer Blaze in January during a press conference held at the GOCC Foundation, as is tradition.
The Great Orchestra played its 32nd Grand Finale! It was an exceptional day. And the declared amount of funds raised during this year's collection exceeded our expectations!
