Dozens of events, hundreds of goods sold during auctions and thousands of red sticky hearts - symbols of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity - appeared in Gdynia on January 13th. For the 21st time our city joined the amazing nationwide fundraising event in order to buy medical equipment for public hospitals, and celebrated the Orchestra's Grand Finale.The funds collected throughout Poland will be split this year. Half of them will support neonatology and half - geriatric wards in Polish hospitals. Thanks to the auction and the on-street fundraising we have managed to collect nearly 500 000 PLN. During the auction led by the Mayor of Gdynia in the Municipal Theatre 21 250 PLN was raised. The biggest sum, that is 1100 PLN, was offered for a cake prepared by a renown local chocolatier - Tomasz Deker. Another 1000 PLN was offered for the sport outfit of Tomasz Majewski, a Polish shot putter and a double Olympic gold medalist.
