The Fundraising Heartbeat of Hot Cares
Every week on HOT 102.7FM, we share remarkable stories of hope. Children receiving life-changing medical care, families finding their feet through humanitarian support, young people being given opportunities through education, and vulnerable animals receiving the care and protection they deserve through animal welfare.
Behind every one of these stories is the generosity of people just like you.
Teddython is the fundraising heartbeat of Hot Cares. The donations pledged during this special 12-hour event make it possible for us to change lives, answer calls for help and support those who need it most throughout the year.
On Friday, 6 November 2026, we’re calling on individuals, families and businesses across Johannesburg and beyond to join us for another extraordinary day of giving. Whether you contribute money, goods, products or services, your generosity helps turn compassion into meaningful action.

Donations FAQ's
Your Generosity. Their Tomorrow.
Every donation to Teddython helps build a brighter future for someone in need.
For businesses, it’s also an opportunity to make a tangible difference while demonstrating a commitment to giving back.
As a registered non-profit and Public Benefit Organisation, Hot Cares can issue Section 18A tax-deductible donation certificates for qualifying monetary and goods donations, subject to applicable requirements.
But the greatest return on your generosity is the difference it makes to real lives – a child receiving treatment, a student pursuing a dream, a family finding renewed hope or an animal being given a second chance.
These are the moments that matter. And they’re only possible because of you.
One day. One incredible goal. R20 million to change lives.
On Friday, 6 November 2026, HOT 102.7FM is bringing Johannesburg together for 12 extraordinary hours of generosity, kindness and giving.
Our goal? To raise R20 million in cash, goods and services to ensure Hot Cares can continue making a meaningful difference across its four pillars of support: humanitarian, medical, education and animal welfare.
Every rand donated, every product pledged and every service offered brings us closer to that goal – and helps make another life-changing Hot Cares story possible.
Because while Teddython lasts just 12 hours, the kindness it inspires changes lives all year long.
Help us reach R20 million. Be part of Teddython 2026!
