Key conclusions
- Piotr “Łatwogang” Garkowski raised over PLN 251 million for the Cancer Fighters Foundation, breaking all previous records for Polish online collections.
- The largest collection was recorded in the final minutes – amounts of PLN 5 million each were donated by well-known Polish companies.
- The action lasted from April 17 to 26, 2026 and ended with a symbolic finale at 9:37 p.m.
This was no ordinary streaming. Dr. Karol Jachymek, a media expert from SWPS University, in an interview with the Polish Press Agency, noted the rare authenticity and sincerity of the 23-year-old creator. Łagang built a narrative based on spontaneity, which attracted not only young viewers, but also older people, traditionally distrustful of the world of influencers.
The event integrated communities that rarely cooperate with each other on a daily basis.
The meeting in a studio apartment in Warsaw’s Praga district attracted many famous people, such as Robert Lewandowski, Adam Małysz, Dorota “Doda” Rabczewska and Roksana Węgiel – these are just some of the names who supported the initiative. The scale of the commitment was unprecedented – some stars, including Katarzyna Nosowska, Edyta Pazura and Blanka Lipińska, decided to shave their hair in public. It was a gesture of solidarity with cancer patients who lose their lives as a result of chemotherapy.
Musical impulse and brand involvement
The foundation of the campaign was Bedoes’ song “I’m still here (diss na cancer)”, recorded together with Maja Mecan, a ward of the foundation. The song set the right tone and pace for the rally, mobilizing the hip-hop fan community. However, financial support came from many sides. Dawid Podsiadło, rapper OKI and popular culinary creator Książulo also contributed.
Even Chris Martin, leader of the band Coldplay, joined in promoting the event. In the sent recording, the singer encouraged Poles to “screw up” the result, which immediately translated into increased activity of depositors.
Transparency and no politics
One of the most important aspects that Dr. Jachymek points out was the organizer’s clear declaration that the event was apolitical. Łagang distanced himself from any ideological disputes, focusing solely on his charitable goal. Thanks to this, information about the record amount reached the main editions of news websites, RMF FM radio and PAP dispatches.
The collection was originally supposed to end on Sunday at 4:00 p.m., but the huge interest and incoming funds prompted the creator to extend the broadcast. The counter closed at 9:37 p.m., which was a symbolic end to the action for many Internet users.
What next with the collected funds?
Marek Kopyść, president of the Cancer Fighters Foundation, was a guest on a popular radio station on Monday morning. He admitted that the scale of assistance exceeded the organization’s wildest expectations. The foundation not only finances treatment and diagnostics, but also provides psychological support for entire families. The collected PLN 251 million is capital that will allow for a real change in Polish pediatric oncology, financing modern therapies and equipping hospital departments throughout the country.
Easygang proved that an entertaining video broadcast format can become the most powerful philanthropic tool in the history of the Polish Internet. The result of the collection puts it in line with the largest charitable institutions in the country.
Łaganga’s fundraiser for Cancer Fighters has ended. Over PLN 251 million will go to the account of a foundation helping children with cancer. Get to know the behind-the-scenes of the record-breaking action of the Polish Internet.
