TOP CHARITY Auction 2022 was the first edition of an event that set a new benchmark for philanthropy in Poland, defined by its scale, exceptional professionalism, and clearly articulated values.

TOP CHARITY brings together the worlds of business, culture, and philanthropy, creating a platform for collaboration among business leaders, artists, collectors, and individuals genuinely engaged in social impact. The project is built on transparency, clarity of purpose, and respect for all stakeholders—principles that shaped the inaugural edition from the outset.

Initiated by Omenaa Mensah together with Rafał Brzoska, TOP CHARITY 2022 gained a unique, dual focus. The outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine made 2022 a turning point, requiring an immediate response to the humanitarian crisis on Poland’s borders alongside the event’s long-term social mission.

As a result, 50% of the auction proceeds were allocated to supporting refugees from Ukraine, while the remaining 50% supported the statutory activities of the Omenaa Foundation and the Rafał Brzoska Foundation.

The inaugural edition became the largest and most prestigious charity event in Poland, featuring an auction of Polish art, design, and “Great Emotions” items curated by the Artistic Council chaired by Adam Myjak. Organized by Polswiss Art with online bidding via Artinfo.pl, the event raised approximately EUR 2 million, setting a national record and laying the foundation for TOP CHARITY’s continued growth.
