On 1 November 2024, MCC Aviation proudly participated in Teddython 2024, providing a private helicopter charter to the event, as well two donations to the cause. The Teddython is the annual fundraising event hosted by HOT102.7FM, which raised an extraordinary R27.5 million in just 12 and a half hours. As a company committed to delivering private helicopter charter services, we were honoured to support this inspiring cause while showcasing our bespoke aviation services.
The day was filled with powerful moments of generosity, and MCC Aviation played a pivotal role in ensuring the event’s success—not just through our financial contributions, but by providing seamless helicopter transport that helped make the day run smoothly and added a buzz of excitement with the helicopter landing and taking off in the busy Fourways suburb.
Private Helicopter Charter for VIPs: Flying in the Mystery Guest
As part of MCC Aviation’s ongoing partnership with HOT02.7FM, we were entrusted with a key logistical role on the day. Our Bell 407 flew in the highly anticipated mystery guest, Ross Learmonth, of Prime Circle fame, from Lanseria International Airport to the event at Papachinos in Broadacres, Johannesburg. This was a prime example of how our private helicopter charters can streamline travel and add an element of excitement to any occasion.
With MCC Aviation’s private charter helicopter services, VIPs, celebrities, and key stakeholders are ensured a swift and comfortable journey, bypassing Johannesburg’s often congested roads for a smooth, scenic flight to their destinations.
Our ability to provide on-demand helicopter charters in South Africa for high-profile events like Teddython speaks to our unmatched experience in delivering safe, reliable, and efficient services, no matter the size or scale of the event. Whether flying in high-profile guests, transporting executives to business meetings, or supporting major charity events, our helicopter services ensure that clients experience the best of aviation—every time.
MCC Aviation’s Commitment to Giving Back
Beyond our aviation expertise, MCC Aviation has always been deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve. Mike Goodwin, General Manager of MCC Aviation, demonstrated this by donating R80,000 to the Teddython 2024 cause early in the day, showing our company’s dedication to social responsibility and community upliftment.
But the generosity didn’t end there. Later, Mike Barnes, CEO of MCC Aviation, added another R100,000 to our donation, ensuring we played our part in surpassing the fundraising goal and contributing to the immense success of the event.
Our participation in Teddython 2024 was a perfect example of how MCC Aviation integrates corporate social responsibility with our commitment to providing unparalleled private helicopter services.
Teddython 2024: A Day of Generosity and Giving
Throughout the day, HOT102.7FM broadcasted live, taking pledges from generous listeners and raising funds for Hot Cares—an organisation that provides support to individuals and communities in need. The event surpassed its initial goal of R20 million, raising R27.5 million by the close of the pledge lines at 6:25 p.m.
These funds will go towards initiatives such as soup kitchens for the homeless, food banks for struggling families, medical assistance for those in need, and the upliftment of education and animal welfare.
We are incredibly proud to be part of such a significant event and to have played a role in supporting Hot Cares’ mission to make Johannesburg a better place for all its residents.
