Every year, the Spanish football team, Real Betis fans turn a football match into a moment of generosity with their annual ‘Teddy Toss’ tradition. During a home game, supporters throw plush toys and teddy bears onto the pitch, destined for children in need.

20,000 Toys Collected by Real Betis

This year, fans outdid themselves, collecting an impressive 20,000 stuffed animals. Traditionally supporting orphaned children, this year’s donations were expanded to include families impacted by the recent DANA storm in Valencia. The severe weather left many families vulnerable, making the gesture even more significant.

Charities and volunteers will distribute the toys to orphanages and those affected by the floods, ensuring they bring comfort and joy to children before the festive season.
