PFR looking for pandemic heroes

The "In Solidarity We’ll Win" competition organized by the Polish Development Fund (PFR)  and the PFR Foundation has started. Its purpose is to promote and honor the history of coping with the crisis, interpersonal cooperation and heroic attitudes of Poles while fighting the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The winners – both individuals and companies – will be able to support the selected foundation in the amount of PLN 10,000, or take advantage of a free promotion in the media. Applications can be sent from June 26 to August 3 through the competition website www.solidarnizwyciezymy.pl.

For the competition, you can submit inspirational stories of exceptional and disinterested help and inventive business management in a pandemic. Anyone can send a report, and the story can be about ourselves and someone we think the action is worth seeing and imitating.

The inspiration for announcing the competition were the stories of entrepreneurs and employees who, thanks to the financial support received under the PFR Financial Shield, coped with the challenges brought by difficult reality, maintained the activity of companies and the workplace, and often also changed the business model or helped through joint determination others.

"In this way, we want to honor all those who together, helping each other, went through this difficult moment in the economic environment. Employers who did not dismiss employees at the time, but also people who took extraordinary actions for others at this difficult time. In this way we want to show that we, Poles, can unite in such difficult moments, support each other and together overcome even the biggest challenges," Paweł Borys, President of PFR, said.
