background
Stichting Inspire has been set up by a group of volunteers that in 2017 have organized a fundraiser for The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (GOCC) in Rotterdam, for the first time.
GOCC is a Polish charity organization collecting money for equipping the Polish public hospitals with state-of-the-art medical equipment. It has been set up in 1993 and every year it beats its own records of funds collected. The most well known way of fundraising is the, so called, Grand Finale, organized once a year in January. It is one of the biggest and most known cultural events in Poland.
The first grand finale in Rotterdam took place in 2017 and then subsequently in 2018 & 2019. Because of the growing number of funds the Grand Finale had been bringing, and the growing amount of interested parties (volunteers and sponsors), the very same group of volunteers have decided to formalize the growing activities and expand the activities to the Dutch market.
