    Young Collector’s Big Heart: 9-Year-Old Ryan Tedder Raises R4,000 on HCS for SPCA with Checkers Collectibles

    The Bright Side

    The craze is real, with some willing to part with serious cash to complete their sets. But on our Hibiscus Coast Seconds Facebook group, one incredible nine-year-old decided to take the collectible mania in a whole new direction — and for a beautiful cause,

    Embodying the spirit of a young philanthropist, Ryan Tedder’s mom auctioned his entire set of Checkers mini collectibles to the highest bidder to raise funds for the SPCA Lower South. The winning bid of R2,000 came from a supporter named Leyton Vincent, but the generosity didn’t stop there. 

    Rordon Cowley made an additional pledge of R2,000, bringing the total raised to an incredible R4,000 for the SPCA.

    Bidders didn’t have to be collectors themselves—many joined just to support the cause. With the high spirits and generosity of the community, this donation will soon be making a difference for animals in need, as the family has just “done the deal” at the SPCA. 

     

    The Tedders’ , who live by the motto “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” have inspired their community with this generous act. An awesome family indeed,  showing that even small gestures can make a big difference! On the same group, locals are now selling or swapping their minis, with profits going to various charities.


     In a world where many are flipping collectibles for profit, it’s amazing to see people coming together to turn these tiny grocery items into big acts of kindness.


    The Hibiscus Coast is showing us what it means to give back. Here’s to more stories of generosity and the young heroes who remind us that we all have something to give.
