Particularly at the end of this unprecedented year, which has demanded an enormous amount from every one of us, we wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas period and a relaxing festive season. Our virtual “Mister Smart” is also in urgent need of rest and relaxation – shortly before the festive season, he is still busy collecting product packages to make sure all orders are completed by Christmas Eve. You can give him a hand and make sure that he gets home to his family in time to give out the presents. Simply download our Gira “Jump & Run” app to your smartphone and start this entertaining game. As you run through our logistics centre together with “Mister Smart”, successfully avoiding the many obstacles placed in your path, you will collect parcels and points. With skill (and a bit of luck), you can win one of our daily prizes or even our particularly exciting main prize. Either way, your scores can do some good and help to support this year’s fundraising campaign for three equally worthy causes.

You can pledge your points to one of the non-profit initiatives that Gira is supporting this year through an overall donation of at least 60,000 euros, in addition to the Junior University in Wuppertal, which is set to receive 50,000 euros. The total number of points collected for the initiatives will determine how the donation amount is distributed – the organisation with the most points can look forward to receiving 30,000 euros, while the initiatives with the second and third highest score will receive 20,000 and 10,000 euros respectively.

But that’s not all: if the total number of points scored by all players combined exceeds the target of 1,905,000 by the time the competition ends on 3 January 2021, Gira will increase the donation amount by another 10,000 euros per recipient – i.e. by a total of 30,000 euros. All in all, this means that Gira will be donating 140,000 euros to a number of worthy causes.

The aim of the game is to earn as many points as possible – both per game round and throughout the entire duration of the competition. The player with the highest number of points each day will receive a daily prize, with the main prize going to the player who collects the most points throughout the entire duration of the competition (10 December 2020 – 3 January 2021). The respective winners will be notified within five working days by e-mail to the address provided during registration.

With the points you collect each time you play, you can help to support Gira’s Christmas donation this year. With at least 60,000 euros in total, we are hoping to be able to support three initiatives in 2020 that are doing exemplary work through social projects or in the field of environmental protection, both in Germany and the wider world. This year, these initiatives are:

• Deutsche Kinderhilfswerk (the German Children’s Fund)
• medico international – Sinani
• NABU Naturschutzbund Deutschland (the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union of Germany)

If you and your fellow players collect more than 1,905,000 points by the end of the competition, we will increase the donation for each of the three initiatives by 10,000 euros.
