G2A.COM Co-founder and CMO, Dawid Rozek is delighted that G2A won. He explained: "For
this great cause of saving children's lives, we bid for Geralt and it was a hard-won

The Witcher statue shows the scene of Geralt fighting with The Noonwraith. According

shortly after their weddings and became Noonwraiths. In The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt, the
Noonwraith is one of the monsters faced by Geralt as he travels through the vast plains of
Velen.

and think every day about the children whose lives are saved because of this statue," said

able to receive life-saving treatment. A big thanks G2A for your trust and your tremendous
support for the Orchestra! As can be seen, distance does not matter and there are good
people all over the world. The money obtained thanks to your auction win, will be used to
support the work of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation. Â Remember - we
will play until the end of the world and one day longer!"
