Get ready, Gauteng! HOT 102.7FM's Teddython is back on Thursday, 30 October 2025, from 6am to 6pm. This incredible annual event brings the community together for a day of giving, making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
What is Teddython?
Teddython is a fundraising initiative driven by Hot Cares, the charitable arm of HOT 102.7FM. The funds raised support projects focused on four key pillars: Humanitarian aid, Education, Medical assistance, and Animal Welfare. Think of children receiving vital medical treatment, families getting back on their feet, and animal shelters receiving much-needed support – all made possible by the generosity of Teddython donors.
More Than Just Money: How You Can Help
While monetary donations are always appreciated, Teddython welcomes contributions of goods, services, and skills. Over the years, Hot Cares has received incredible support from individuals and businesses donating essential items like food, shoes, and blankets for feeding schemes, shelters, and old-age homes.
Medical and Trade Support
The medical sector has also stepped up, offering services such as MRI scans, dentistry, and counselling, as well as providing vital medical equipment like wheelchairs and oxygen machines. Skilled tradespeople like electricians, plumbers, and carpenters have donated their time and expertise to keep charities and families running smoothly. Even entertainment donations, like DJs and photographers for events, make a big difference!
Making a Tangible Difference
As Carmen Rocha, managing director of Hot Cares, explains, funds raised through Teddython make a tangible difference for both people and animals. Past projects have included providing a trailer for Rhino Connect to assist injured rhinos and supporting sterilisation campaigns. Your donation, no matter the size, helps bring hope, dignity, and opportunity to those in need.
