The Łatwogang Campaign

The fundraiser was organized by influencer Patryk “Łatwogang” Garkowski on YouTube as a long-form livestream lasting nine days, beginning on April 17th. Participants joined online or visited the organizer at his apartment in Warsaw’s Praga district.

Celebrity Involvement and Gestures of Solidarity

The campaign featured participation from Dorota “Doda” Rabczewska, Robert Lewandowski, Adam Małysz, Cezary Pazura, and Roksana Węgiel. Several celebrities, including Edyta Pazura, Katarzyna Nosowska, and Blanka Lipińska, shaved their heads during the stream in solidarity with children battling cancer. Dawid Podsiadło, YouTuber Książulo, and rapper OKI also contributed.

Activities During the Livestream

Participants engaged in various live activities for their online audience, such as Roksana Węgiel performing with Andziaks, rapper Kubańczyk getting a tattoo created by a foundation beneficiary, and rapper Tede calling rapper Pei to resolve a long-standing conflict.

Origins of the Fundraiser

The charity drive was inspired by rapper Bedoes’ song “Ciągle tutaj jestem (diss na raka)” featuring Maja Mecan from the Cancer Fighters Foundation, raising awareness about childhood cancer. Łatwogang then challenged his followers to determine the livestream’s duration based on likes on a TikTok post, resulting in a nine-day stream.
