Sporting tradition: GEZE donates 4,000 euros at the Ditzingen Race for Life
GEZE employees have been taking part in the Ditzingen Race for Life for over ten years. The 26th edition of the fundraising event took place from 19 to 28 April 2024. This year, 112 employees of the Leonberg-based family business once again covered several kilometres to raise money for the fight against cystic fibrosis. Participation is a matter of honour for GEZE every year, and the company sponsors its employees' efforts with a total of 4,000 euros.
Everywhere against cystic fibrosis
In ideal running conditions, numerous runners from GEZE GmbH in Ditzingen set off for a good cause.
GEZE employees collected more than 2,000 kilometres at this year's Ditzingen Race for Life. This makes the distance covered by GEZE employees eight times longer than the total distance covered by German marathon runners at this year's Olympic Games in Paris. For this impressive achievement, the family business from Leonberg and specialist in innovative door, window and safety technology is donating 4,000 euros to the fight against cystic fibrosis. GEZE has now been involved in the charity run organised by the Ludwigsburg-Heilbronn regional group of the Baden-Württemberg state association of cystic fibrosis for many years. The sporting aspect is also relevant for GEZE. This is why the company also sponsors the Leonberg City Run relay team in June, for example.

For the second time since 2023, the Ditzingen Race for Life took place in a hybrid format this year. Runners were able to take part in the charity run not only in Ditzingen, but all over the world. It was up to them where they covered their kilometres for Mukoviszidose e.V. This resulted in an impressive total of more than 2,000 kilometres, which translated into a donation of 4,000 euros. The money will benefit the approximately 8,000 people in Germany who are fighting against the incurable disease cystic fibrosis - and thus for their survival. The donations, which have been collected at the Ditzingen Race for Life every spring since 1999, are primarily channelled into research and therapy measures aimed at improving the chances and living conditions of patients.
Preparations are underway... GEZE GmbH is once again taking part in this year's Ditzingen Race for Life.
Ready, get set, go...
Whether jogging or walking - we are committed in the fight against cystic fibrosis.
We would like to thank all runners for their commitment.
