Organizers of the 9th annual wielka orkiestra swiatecznej pomocy (WOSP), a national fund raising event held at the beginning of the year to raise money for charitable causes, have so far already recorded over zl. 21 million in donations.

Though the final results of the event won't be known until March of 2001, total proceeds are expected to reach zl. 40 million. (Zycie, p.4)
