Almost PLN 67,000 was collected during the campaign in Bolesławiec (as of 9:55 p.m.). Not all proceeds have been counted yet. Auctions on Allegro will also have to be added to this sum.
A substantial amount was collected at the “Oli” Playroom – PLN 1,277. All of today’s admission fees were donated to the Orchestra. – We are very happy that we were able to play for the children – says the owner of the “Oli” Playroom, Kamil Giza, pleased with the sum donated to the Foundation.
The head of the campaign headquarters emphasizes the generosity of Bolesławiec’s residents. – People were happy to donate money – says Robert Dudek. – Numerous events were organized before the Finale. Schools got involved. Today, the lottery and auction were a great success. Around PLN 800 was collected during the “CarShow” event in Bolesławiec’s market square. Thank you all. But I am most pleased with the work of the campaign headquarters and the volunteers’ assistance – says the head of WOŚP in Bolesławiec. – It was a huge organizational effort. Some people thought we were attempting the impossible.
The main event of the 19th Finale was held in the sports hall of I Liceum Ogólnokształcącego. Bolesławiec bands, young people from the MDK and students from the “Tierra Flamenca” dance school performed on stage. There was military pea soup and bigos. The police, fire service and army displayed their equipment while also playing for the Orchestra. Rescuers from Żary encouraged children to become familiar with rescue dogs. Our portal and newspaper Istotne Informacje prepared a fabulous journey to Morocco. In 2011, a great, red and generous heart beat once again for Bolesławiec on the map of Poland.
FMS also played for WOŚP
The Federation of Young Social Democrats in Bolesławiec joined the fundraising campaign for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. FMS members handed out materials and gadgets presenting information about the European Union. It was also possible to bid for a trip to the European Parliament funded by MEP Lidia Geringer de Oedenberg. – The trip was auctioned for PLN 600. This money will serve a good cause – says Paweł Zieliński, the MEP’s assistant.
