Australian Collection Centres for Fire Relief in Australia


Jurek Owsiak appealed to the Australia-based Collection Offices to use Grand Finale resources to help in bushfire relief in Australia. 

Grand Finale fundraiser will take place not only in Poland but in 100 different locations worldwide. Three Collection Centres, which are gearing up to hold the fundraiser on Sunday, are based in Australia. Jurek Owsiak appealed to the Australian Collection Centres to utilise Grand Finale resources and efforts to fundraise for fire relief efforts in Australia. Writing on behalf of the entire charity, Owsiak asked Polish Australians to donate all funds raised at the Grand Finale to local relief organisations, particularly those dealing with medical aid. 

The Chairman of the Board also announced that there is a special gesture of solidarity planned for the day of the Grand Finale in Warsaw. 

We keep you in our thoughts. During the Grand Finale fundraiser, we would like to take the opportunity to draw attention to your struggle and extend our support to you. Our Foundation is built by millions of Poles, who fundraise with us in Poland and abroad. The day of the Grand Finale is special - a day of community, solidarity, a day when we all come together to save the lives and health of children. We want to share this unique energy with you!  We want to thank all of our volunteers working at the Collection Centres based in Australia. We want to ask you to donate all the money you raise using the Grand Finale resources and efforts to a charitable organisation in Australia, which focuses on helping victims of the tragic bushfires ravaging your homeland. We trust that you will find the best and most trustworthy organisation to support.  We will always support those who need our help. We believe that you can win against the force of nature, but we know that a huge effort to rebuild is still ahead of all of you. You can count on our support!  We plan to demonstrate our support during the fundraising events in Warsaw. This coming Sunday, we will unfold a massive Australian flag as a gesture of solidarity with the people of Australia.
