Charity program raises big bucks for hospital equipment

Poland’s largest non-profit, non-governmental organization raised PLN 25.4 million, according to a statement released by the organization on Monday. The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (“WOŚP” in Polish) supports both elderly and young patients by raising money to finance purchases of medical equipment. Events and concerts continue across the country and the organization hopes to raise more money during the remainder of January and also throughout the month of February. Last year at this time, the charity had raised only PLN 17 million.
