The WOŚP Foundation

On September 1, 2004 the WOŚP Foundation was entered into the central register of public benefit organizations.

The Foundation’s aim: aim is to work in the field of health protection by saving patients’ and especially young patients’ life and supporting their treatment. Additionally, the Foundation promotes health and medicines.

They pursue this aim by organizing the Great Finale money collections, by purchasing medical equipment for hospitals all over Poland, and by running four nation-wide medical programs and one educational program.

What most people would say when asked about their first association with WOŚP is the January money collection called the Great Finale. Heedless of snow and frost, thousands of volunteers march the streets of Poland to collect donations for a given aim. Each year, the Foundation chooses a theme – the aim we want to achieve. Besides, the WOŚP Foundation is the organizer of Europe’s biggest open - air music festival called Przystanek Woodstock.
