16 hours of quiz fun: donation special for German Cancer Aid

community spirit and help: "the quiz champion" as a donation special

On September 14th and 15th, 2023, an extraordinary series of events took place in the ZDF Berlin studio: "The quiz champion-the donation special". Host Johannes B. Kerner led the longest quiz show of the ZDF, which was offered over 16 hours and accompanied the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the German Cancer Aid. This event was not just a conversation, but was primarily used to collect donations for cancer research and help.

The prominent quiz candidates included well-known faces such as Annegret Schenkel and Sebastian Klussmann, both talented "Jäger" from the popular quiz show "Inquired-hunted". They competed against experts such as Bastian Pastewka and Anna Thalbach, each of which demonstrated their knowledge in different categories. An amount of 20,000 euros for German Cancer Aid was earned for each round won. The aim was to collect a total of 100,000 euros to support the important work of this non -profit organization.

One of the essential highlights of the evening was the "donation challenge", which began immediately after the main quiz show. Here, social media stars and well-known faces from other ZDF formats also received the opportunity to stand in the spotlight and to collect additional funds. The donation was increased even further through live streams and interactions with the spectators, and every profit in the quiz rounds led directly to donate for cancer aid.

"We are squeezed through the night and tomorrow for 16 hours. It is for a good cause," emphasized Kerner, who invited the audience to actively participate and support the initiative. The night was also enriched with live circuits, stories of those affected and musical contribution, which gave the event a special atmosphere and addressed the community spirit of the audience.

This edition of the Quiz Champion not only illustrates the importance of television events to support non-profit purposes, but also the power of the community in combating diseases such as cancer. The willingness to donate of the audience played a central role and shows how important it is to show solidarity in society, especially with such serious topics.

On Sunday afternoon, September 15th, the final result of donations in the "ZDF television garden" was announced, a moment that summarized the success of the donation night and celebrated the common sense of the spectators. The campaign enabled ZDF to set new impulse in the support of German Cancer Aid and to create awareness of the challenges that affected people have to experience every day.

For everyone who wants to participate, the possibility of donating remained even after the shipment. The commitment and the joy shown that evening encourage similar initiatives to continue in the future. "The quiz champion-the donation special" was not just a visual event, but a sign of cohesion in the fight against the disease.
