26th Charity Ball by Nowy Styl
Saturday, January 11th of this year was a truly special day for us. Nowy Styl organized its 26th annual ball for the children from orphanages and care institutions in the Podkarpacie region. Santa Claus made an appearance at the event, handing out gifts tailored to meet the most important needs of families, facilities, and organizations providing assistance. The event also featured special guests and surprises.
The charity ball is an initiative that began in 2000. In keeping with tradition, the highlight of the event is the distribution of gifts funded by our company. As befits a ball, there were also dances, beautiful outfits, and additional attractions.
Approximately 1,150 children from care and educational facilities across the Podkarpacie region were invited to Krosno. During the event, a drawing competition and a costume contest were held.
Participants of the ball could enjoy a variety of attractions, including dance sessions, movement and activation activities, sensory workshops, a science station with experiments, and numerous games and activities.
Adam Krzanowski, co-founder and CEO of Nowy Styl, joined us to greet the children and wish them a wonderful time at the event. A video greeting was also recorded by Omenaa Mensah—an enterprising businesswoman, producer of popular TV shows, and television personality. Omenaa Mensah is also the founder of the Philanthropic Consortium, which partnered with the event.
One of the special guests was Klaudia Mlostek, Poland’s Miss 2024 and Miss Kraków 2024. Participants had the chance to chat with her and take photos together in a fairytale-themed photo zone.
From Pacanów, Koziołek Matołek (the famous literary character) joined the fun, sharing his adventures in a performance and then inviting participants to a special zone. There, a candy-catching machine and a "Wheel of Fortune" lottery awaited. Guests could also join a fairy tale-themed quiz, art workshops, and get glitter tattoos.
The event showcased artwork created by children attending the ball. This year’s competition was titled "A Fairy Tale Hero and Their World", and the creators of the most interesting and original pieces were awarded prizes aimed at fostering further community integration within their facilities or organizations.
Santa Claus also appeared on stage to hand out gifts requested by the invited guests. These gifts were funded by Nowy Styl.

Nowy Styl is a company with an international reach, but our heart beats here, in the Podkarpacie region. Since 2000, we have been organizing the Charity Ball to support children and youth from our region. This unique event demonstrates how much can be achieved through collective effort. Each edition of the ball brings us great emotions and inspiration to keep moving forward. We are deeply grateful to the Philanthropic Consortium for collaborating with us on the organization of this year’s 26th edition.
