Fundacja Rak’n’Roll. Wygraj Życie!

What Fundacja Rak’n’Roll. Wygraj Życie! does

Fundacja Rak'n'Roll. Wygraj Życie! is a Polish non-profit foundation (fundacja) established in October 2009 by Magda Prokopowicz after her own cancer experience, headquartered at Al. Wilanowska 313A, Warsaw. It operates across Poland to support women and men diagnosed with cancer, their families, and survivors through a portfolio of programs spanning psycho-oncological counseling, financial assistance for non-refunded treatments, free wigs (Daj Włos!), oncofertility guidance (Boskie Matki, Onkopłodność), legal consultations, post-cancer life support (iPoRaku), survivor sports challenges (Rolling, Biegam Dobrze), and preventive screenings via a mobile Medbus (Dzień na U). The foundation also runs awareness campaigns (Profilaktyka Na Nowo, Spot the Dot, Gadaj*Badaj) and digital support tools such as Pierwsze Słowo and SuperHairo.

The foundation's technology footprint is modest: a WordPress-based website (raknroll.pl), a separate e-commerce store (raknroll-sklep.pl), a mobile screening Medbus operation, and standard digital payment integrations with PayU, PayPal, BLIK, and direct bank transfer via a BNP Paribas account. There is no proprietary platform, no app, and no API surface. Program delivery blends digital channels (website, social media on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter, podcast Rak'n'Talk, email newsletter) with physical presence (running events, mobile Medbus tours, workshops, public-collection campaigns authorized by the Ministry of Interior).

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable giving: one-time and recurring individual donations, corporate sponsorships, partnership grants (e.g., DKMS Foundation grant for hemato-oncological psycho-oncology), Poland's 1.5% personal income-tax redirection, event-based public collections, and merchandise sales through the online store. All programs and services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. The foundation employs approximately 25 people and is governed independently under Polish nonprofit law with KRS registration 0000338803.
