Warsaw, December 11, 2024 — A remarkable event took place at the Children’s Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of young patients. Santa Claus, accompanied by a lively team of elves, visited children from the Department of Pediatrics, Nutrition, and Metabolic Diseases, bringing joy, gifts, and festive cheer.

Renowned actor Kamil Lemieszewski took on the role of Santa Claus, winning the hearts of children with his warmth and natural charm. He was joined by a colorful team of elves, including Magdalena Gawlik from the Idea Artis Poloniae Foundation and Iwona Kukwa from the KREA Vitae Foundation. Elf Musician — Paweł Gawlik — enriched the festive atmosphere by playing the guitar and singing Christmas carols.

The event was made possible through the joint efforts of the Children Nourished Differently Foundation, the Idea Artis Poloniae Foundation, the Kingdom of Love Foundation, and our KREA Vitae Foundation. The event’s partners also included COBI, Vilpol, Pollywood Group, and ALL PRO Polska, with media patronage provided by the Innovators Leaders portal.

“This day was filled with unforgettable emotions and joy. The festive atmosphere brought all the children together, offering them moments full of smiles and warmth,” emphasized Iwona Kukwa, representative of the KREA Vitae Foundation. “Such initiatives highlight the importance of creating welcoming spaces where children can feel noticed and cared for.”

During the gathering, children were showered with numerous gifts, while artistic performances and carol singing created a warm, family-like atmosphere. Such gestures demonstrate the value of togetherness and mutual support.

During the event, children also enjoyed special video greetings prepared by well-known Polish artists and celebrities, including Paweł Golec, Magdalena Narożna, Justyna Sieńczyłło, and the band IRA. These heartfelt messages were a unique experience for the children and their families, leaving a lasting impression.

Santa Claus and his team have already announced their return next year. The KREA Vitae Foundation is planning further initiatives to continue its mission of providing support and joy to children and youth.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this event and helped create unforgettable moments for the children.
