Some 120,000 volunteers helped out in even the smallest localities in Poland, but also in Europe, the US, Japan and China, collecting money for sick children and the elderly.
The charity collection was also supported through various auctions and was accompanied by numerous events.
"The orchestra has been playing for 25 years now, with staff in Poland and abroad, and this shows that you are with us, that our slogans of uniting people are true," said Jerzy Owsiak, the charity's founder.
