The 1st Grand Finale fundraiser was held in January 1993. It was meant to be a one-off happening to raise money for the cardiac surgery ward at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Warsaw. The spectacular success of the first effort inspired the establishment of the GOCC Foundation

The 31st Grand Finale Fundraiser took place on Sunday,  29 January 2023. 1,653 Collection Centres, including 87 International Collection Centres from 25 foreign countries engaged in the event. The preliminary result of the GOCC Grand Finale is equal to PLN 154,606,764. The final result of the 2023 fundraiser will be announced on 31 March 2023. This year's objective was to ensure the highest standards of sepsis diagnosis for all the patients in need, regardless of age. 

The GOCC Foundation holds an annual summer music festival - Pol'and'Rock Festival (previously known as Woodstock Festival Poland). The event is a way of saying "thank you" to everyone involved in the winter fundraiser.
