Hot Cares is thrilled to announce that Teddython 2025 will take place on Thursday 30 October at Papacinos, Broadacres – a day when generosity and community spirit take centre stage.

If you’ve ever been moved by the incredible stories you’ve heard on HOT 102.7FM – whether it’s a child finally receiving life-changing medical treatment, a struggling family getting back on their feet, or an animal shelter receiving much-needed support – it’s important to know that every single one of those moments is made possible by donations raised at Teddython.

That’s why we’re calling on businesses across Johannesburg and beyond to plan ahead and be part of this life-changing initiative. Corporate pledges of funds, goods, products or services provide the foundation for everything we do. They allow us to say “yes” when a cry for help reaches Hot Cares, and they ensure we can continue sharing stories of hope and transformation throughout the year.

With Teddython just weeks away, now is the time for companies to start preparing their contributions.

Not only will your support directly impact people and animals in need, but as a registered non-profit, Public Benefit Organisation, Hot Cares can issue Section 18A certificates for all monetary and product donations – ensuring your generosity also works for your business from a tax perspective.

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 meaning difference to those who need it most.

So, mark your calendars – Thursday 30 October 2025 at Papacinos Broadacres – and join us for another unforgettable day of giving. Together, we can keep the amazing Hot Cares stories alive on HOT 102.7FM and bring hope where it’s needed most.
