The third edition of the TOP CHARITY Auction, initiated by Omenaa Mensah and Rafał Brzoska in cooperation with Corporate Connections Polska, brought together nearly 500 guests from Poland and abroad in the courtyard of King Jan III Sobieski’s Palace in Wilanów.
In 2024, TOP CHARITY achieved a record-breaking result of approx. €10.7 million. The auction of 15 works of art and 10 unique experiences from the “Great Emotions” category generated over €5 million, which — in line with a long-standing tradition — Rafał Brzoska doubled with an additional €5 million donation. This marked one of the largest single private charitable contributions in the history of modern Poland.
The most expensive artwork was Igor Mitoraj’s 1985 sculpture Torsoalato, sold for approximately €1.6 million. The highest-bid “Great Emotion” was a Metamorphosis Week with Ewa Chodakowska in the Maldives, reaching approximately €1.2 million.
TOP CHARITY 2024 was complemented by a series of accompanying events, including the ChangeMakers business conference and the closing Lazy Sunday picnic. Together, they reinforced TOP CHARITY’s role as more than an auction — a platform for long-term, responsible philanthropy that delivers real and lasting impact.
