AmCham 4th of July Celebration – ‘United in Friendship and Freedom”

The AmCham 4th of July Celebration 2025, held at the stunning Arkady Kubickiego at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, was an unforgettable evening of unity, tradition, and celebration!

This year, we proudly marked 249 years of U.S. independence alongside distinguished guests, including Daniel Lawton, Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy Warsaw; Jakub Jaworowski, CFA, Minister of State Assets; Marcin Przydacz, Member of Parliament; representatives of the Polish government; members of the AmCham Board; and over 1000 participants from the AmCham community and our partners.

The evening opened with warm welcomes from Marzena Drela, AmCham Operations Director; Jarosław Kuźniar, journalist and presenter; and Marta Poslad, AmCham Chairwoman. Their remarks perfectly captured this year’s theme: “United in Friendship and Freedom”, a reflection of the strong and lasting bond between Poland and the United States.

A moving performance of the Polish and American national anthems by Zuza Baum and Szymon Komasa, winners of the Velo Talent competition, added a special touch to the evening, just as a ceremonial Presentation of Colors by the 1st Armored Division Color Guard did.

The official program featured remarks from Minister Jakub Jaworowski, CFA, Ministry of States Assets, and Marcin Przydacz, Member of Parliament, both highlighting the deepening ties between our nations.

We were also honored to hear from Daniel Lawton, Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy Warsaw, who emphasized the longstanding partnership, shared democratic values, and enduring friendship between Poland and the U.S.

As proud Platinum Partners, Marcin Moczyróg, Director & GM CEE at Uber, and Adam Marciniak, CEO of VeloBank S.A., also shared their perspectives on the importance of collaboration and community in driving progress.

We also held a much-anticipated Charity Raffle, featuring over 70 amazing prizes. All proceeds were donated to Fundacja Ronalda McDonalda, supporting their mission to build a third Ronald McDonald House in Poland.

The evening concluded with “Dancing Fountains” performance.
