INTERNATIONAL WOSP GRAND FINALE EVENT
WOSP – The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation is a public benefit organisation registered under Polish law, which in over 30 years collected nearly 2 billion Polish Zloty (in AUD devided by 3 
) and donated 71500 pieces of medical equipment for hospitals and medical clinics.
The objective is to support public health in Poland throughout equipment and medical programs. The Foundation’s work is focused on supporting children’s medicine and enhancing the level of care offered to senior patients in geriatric and long-term care units but also on humanitarian activities like humanitarian crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border, pandemic (fight against the COVID-19), war (support for Ukraine), or social initiatives (e.g. making a stand against child abuse – “Teddy Bear’s Tale” .. Over 1700 Collection Centres organise the work of hundreds of thousands of volunteers. The charitable Orchestra “plays” worldwide –wherever there is an active and thriving Polish community abroad: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, across Europe, in the Americas and onboard Polish ships, and even at the North Pole research station.
The financial means to purchase the equipment and finance the running of medical and educational programmes are raised during a one-day public fundraiser. The fundraiser, known as The Grand Finale is traditionally held on a Sunday in January. This year on 28 January 2024.
I am very happy to announce that I donate one of my paintings – Coral Party. It can be only purchased during the auction on Sunday 28th January 2024.
