Hot Cares is all about heart.

As a registered Non-Profit Company (NPC) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), our mission is simple — to make a real, meaningful difference in the lives of people and animals across our community.

Every day, we help where help is needed most — from putting food on the table and providing life-changing medical support, to opening doors through education and caring for the animals who depend on us.

But none of this would be possible without the generosity of our incredible HOT 102.7FM listeners and donors. Your kindness fuels every story of hope and every act of care we share.

Every year, Hot Cares Teddython brings together the generosity of HOT 102.7FM listeners, businesses and the wider community to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. Taking place on Friday, 6 November 2026, this 12-hour fundraising event aims to raise around R20 million in cash, goods and services to support life-changing initiatives across the four pillars of Hot Cares: Humanitarian, Medical, Education and Animal Welfare.

From providing essential medical treatment and educational opportunities to supporting vulnerable families and caring for animals in need, every contribution helps turn compassion into action. Your generosity on one extraordinary day makes an entire year of giving possible. Join us and help change lives, one act of kindness at a time.
