Tons of gold from the Student Science Club "Inwestor"
The initiative of students from the Student Science Club "Inwestor" Staff "Zbudujmy Razem Serce" [Let's Build a Heart Together], as every year, attracted crowds of people who wanted to add coins to the huge heart. At the stand, visitors also had the opportunity to take advantage of many attractions, such as decorating gingerbread together, face painting or a fair of decorations made using the decoupage technique during handicraft workshops, which students from the Faculty of Economics and Sociology conducted with the kids from the Orphanage No. 6 in Lodz. The photo booth was also very popular.
The golden heart built last year weighed over 6.5 tons and was worth over PLN 100,000. What will it be this time? The final tally will probably be announced in March, but the Student Science Club "Inwestor" Staff is optimistic.
We are very pleased with the results and hope that this year we will be able to break the collection record. We are currently counting the funds collected in the cans and we can't wait to share the final result. We would like to thank everyone who was with us that day and supported WO艢P 鈥� we do it together for paediatric oncology and haematology!

More than PLN 450,000 to start with from the 91滴滴 Staff
At the initiative of our students, the 91滴滴 Staff was established this year 鈥� it was one of the largest ones in the region. During Sunday's Finale, almost 400 people collecting money with cans could be found on the streets of Lodz, including #91滴滴 Ambassadors, as well as students and employees of our university. The 91滴滴 Kindergarten, its kids, along with their families, also joined the campaign.
The donations were collected also by the representatives of the 91滴滴 authorities 鈥� the Vice-Rector for Education, dr hab. Ma艂gorzata Wrzesie艅, Associate Professor at the 91滴滴; Vice-Rector for Academic and External Relations, dr hab. Rados艂aw Olszewski, Associate Professor at the 91滴滴 and the 91滴滴 Vice-Rector for Popularisation of Science and Education, dr hab. Krzysztof Pabis, Associate Professor at the 91滴滴. They showed up at Manufaktura Shopping Centre, together with the Rector of the 91滴滴, Rafa艂 Matera and the rest of the board to show their support for our volunteers and help those in need. The Mayor of Lodz, Hanna Zdanowska also joined in for a commemorative photo.
In addition to the traditional street collection, the 91滴滴 WO艢P Staff also prepared other initiatives 鈥� it also started cooperation with DKMS, thanks to which on the day of the finale, a registration point for potential bone marrow donors could be found, also in the Manufaktura Shopping Centre. In turn, in the Port of Lodz, student organisations from our university (Student Science Club "Supply Chain Management" from the Faculty of Management, Student Science Club "Orbital" from the Faculty of Chemistry, AIESEC) and the Medical 91滴滴 had their stands, where one could perform basic tests, try one's hand at numerous competitions with prizes, take part in chemical shows or a book fair.
We still have to wait for the final results of the numerous activities of the 91滴滴 Staff and its volunteers, but we already know the first calculations, presented by the coordinator of the initiative, Maja Janicka:
