Breaking the Record: The Story Behind Our Auctions for WOSP!

Idego Group maintains several corporate social responsibility traditions, with one being their participation in the Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy (WOSP) finale. The organization first launched their auction event during the 30th finale in 2022, offering items and services created by employees across various departments.

The company discovered unexpected talents among staff members beyond their professional expertise. Participants included philologists, ice skaters, professional drummers, and artisanal beverage makers, all contributing to the charitable effort.

During the 31st finale, the organization expanded significantly to 20 auctions conducted via internal Slack channels. Starting bids began at 30 Polish zloty, with competitive bidding driving impressive results. The highest-priced item reached 6,000 PLN - homemade craft beers brewed by a colleague. One generous bidder's offer resulted in two winners sharing the prize.

The auction lineup featured diverse offerings: Zouk dance instruction, volleyball training with a marketing specialist who plays professionally, drum lessons, kitesurfing instruction, guitar lessons, wood carving instruction, and Japanese specialty baskets from a colleague now living in Japan.

The initiative generated nearly 14,500 PLN from auctions alone, supplemented by additional electronic donations through the WOSP platform.
