Teddython - A Fundraising
Drive With Impact
Hot Cares is thrilled to announce that Teddython 2025 will take place on Thursday, 30 October at Papachinos Broadacres – a day when generosity and community spirit take centre stage.
If you’ve ever been moved by the stories you’ve heard on HOT 102.7FM – a child receiving life-changing medical care, a struggling family getting back on their feet through humanitarian support, a student’s life changing through education, or an animal shelter finding hope again – every one of those moments is made possible by donations raised at Teddython.
That’s why we’re calling on businesses and individuals across Johannesburg and beyond to plan ahead and be part of this life-changing day. Every contribution – whether it’s a financial donation, goods, products, or services – forms the foundation of what we do. Together, they allow us to say “yes” when a cry for help reaches Hot Cares, and ensure we can keep sharing stories of hope and transformation all year round.

Last year, thanks to the incredible support of corporates and individuals, Teddython raised over R27.5 million in cash, goods and services. This year, with your help, we’re aiming to raise R20 million to help make a meaningful difference to those who need it most.
