Gold Rush
The annual campaign by the Polish Red Cross (PCK) involves collecting small coins to support children from families in difficult situations. Join us and show that even the smallest gesture can change the lives of the youngest!
About the action
The Gold Rush is an annual campaign organized by the Polish Red Cross, which engages communities across the country to collect gold coins in denominations of 1, 2 and 5 groszy. It lasts from March to June and is aimed not only at providing material aid, but also at promoting the idea of solidarity and social involvement.
As part of the campaign, collections are held in shops, schools and companies. Organizations, institutions and individual donors deliver the collected coins to local branches of the Polish Red Cross. The collected funds are used to support children in difficult life situations, including organizing summer camps, educational activities or purchasing necessary school supplies.
Since the beginning of the Gold Rush campaign, over 3 million złoty has been collected, which has been transformed into real help for children in need.
The Gold Rush is also an excellent opportunity to promote values such as cooperation and helping those in need. Thanks to this campaign, everyone, even with a small payment, can contribute to improving the lives of children who particularly need support.
In Poland, many children live in difficult financial conditions, which often prevents them from meeting basic needs, such as rest, education or warm meals at school. This situation leads to social exclusion and limits their opportunities for development and fulfillment of dreams.
The Gold Rush campaign was created to respond to these challenges. By collecting gold coins, the Polish Red Cross provides support that not only improves the daily lives of children, but also gives them a chance for a better start in adulthood.
Objectives of the action
Fundraising for helping children from needy families.
Funding for children's summer holidays.
Funding for hot meals in schools and school supplies.
Promoting the idea of volunteering and raising society's awareness of the needs of children.
Need
In Poland, many children struggle with their families' difficult financial situations. The lack of resources for basic needs, such as recreation, education, or warm meals at school, leads to social exclusion and limits their development opportunities.
The Gold Fever campaign addresses these challenges by supporting children in overcoming financial and social barriers. Through the collection of gold coins, the Polish Red Cross provides aid that improves their daily lives and allows for a better start into adulthood.
