WOŚP. Tusk's auction with a record amount. The winner will pay a fortune!

The 34th finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) reached a record fundraising amount, significantly exceeding previous years, with a strong public support for the initiative focused on children's health.

The 34th finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) took place under the theme 'Healthy Tummies for Our Children', aiming to raise funds for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases in young patients. The provisional amount declared at the finale surpassed 183 million PLN, with the final tally expected to be released in the coming weeks. This indicates not only the generosity of the Polish community but also the increasing importance of the WOŚP's role in addressing crucial health issues in children.

In early January, a survey conducted by SW Research on behalf of 'Wprost' revealed that 72% of Poles intended to support this year's WOŚP fundraising effort. With a significant number of respondents expressing affirmative views towards the campaign, the overall commitment reflects a strong national solidarity with the cause. The involvement of various public figures, including politicians and sports stars, suggests a consolidated effort to raise awareness and funds for children's health.

Among those participating was Donald Tusk, who made headlines with his contributions and remarks about his involvement. Tusk humorously announced that while he was re-engaging with charitable efforts, he was not returning to a football career, indicating his commitment to supporting WOŚP's mission. The astronomical amount raised through auctions, including Tusk's contributions, highlights the successful blend of celebrity engagement and a collective social cause, thus cementing the event's reputation as a significant cultural and philanthropic highlight in Poland each year.
