The nationwide fundraiser took place on Sunday and focused on purchasing equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system diseases in children.
Organisers said the total announced on the night is provisional and typically increases in the following weeks as all contributions are counted.
Speaking late on Sunday, the charity’s founder Jerzy Owsiak said the declared sum was the highest ever reported on the night of the finale.
He added that even if the final total falls short of last year’s record, it should not be viewed as a setback.
“If we raise less, the world does not end,” he said, adding that all funds would be spent transparently to improve paediatric gastroenterological care.
Last year’s fundraiser collected nearly PLN 289 million (€68.7m) for paediatric haematology and oncology.
This year’s campaign, held under the slogan "Healthy tummies for our children," involved 1,681 local teams and around 120,000 volunteers across Poland and in 25 other countries.
The charity said the funds are expected to support treatment for between 1.2 million and 1.5 million young patients, marking the first time its flagship appeal has focused on children's gastroenterology.
