- Günther Jauch will present a celebrity Wer wird Millionär? special on Thursday at 20:15, with all winnings donated.
- Entertainer Knossi will run a parallel 24-hour livestream from 17:00 on RTL+ and Twitch to collect additional donations.
- Project patrons including Toni Garrn, Julian Nagelsmann, Jürgen Klopp, Hape Kerkeling and others will showcase initiatives in Germany and abroad.
