About the Plebiscite
Over 14 years of the Plebiscite 93 prizes were awarded to celebrities who use their recognition and popularity as a tool for helping, life saving and changing the world for the better. They not only think how to help others, and not only wish the world was better but they actually do things to make it happen.
They persuade their fans to take part in social actions, campaigns, or on-line fundraising. They encourage to help children in hospitals, adopt animals kept in shelters, pay 1.5 per cent of their taxes to selected foundations, and to assist seniors. They also support financially and materially per-adoption centers, hospices, hospitals, animal shelters, social welfare centers, refugee camps. As Ambassadors, volunteers, and donors they support foundations and associations all over Poland. By lending their image they highlight certain social problems, speak in the name of the socially and materially excluded, become a voice of NGOs and their missions.
