By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rica is gearing up for Teletón 2025, a nationwide fundraising event scheduled for November 28th and 29th at the Centro de Eventos Grupo Moreno. This year’s campaign focuses on a poignant mission: supporting the country’s elderly population by enhancing the functional recovery area of the Hospital Nacional de Geriatría y Gerontología Dr. Raúl Blanco Cervantes.
With a fundraising goal of ₡600 million, the event promises a weekend of solidarity and entertainment, bringing together thousands of Costa Ricans in support of a worthy cause. The funds raised will directly impact the hospital’s capacity to provide essential rehabilitation services to a growing number of senior citizens.
To understand the legal implications surrounding the upcoming Teletón 2025 and its fundraising activities, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, Attorney at Law at Bufete de Costa Rica.
The Teletón 2025, while a laudable charitable endeavor, must operate within Costa Rica’s established legal framework for fundraising and non-profit organizations. Transparency in fund allocation and adherence to regulatory compliance regarding donations are crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the initiative. Potential legal considerations include proper registration, reporting requirements, and adherence to anti-money laundering regulations.

Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering his valuable legal expertise on this important matter.
Annette Barboza, former president and current spokesperson for Club Activo 20-30, emphasized the urgent need for improved elder care.
The rehabilitation of older adults is urgent. Today, the hospital does not have enough beds to meet the growing demand. Every contribution counts and can make a big difference.

Recognizing the importance of engaging a wider audience, the organizers are incorporating innovative fundraising strategies. The Copa Teletón will leverage the influence of online personalities and content creators to drive donations in a dynamic and engaging manner.
Furthermore, starting in October, the Ruta Teletón, a nationwide campaign featuring volunteers collecting donations in various locations across the country, will further amplify the message of solidarity and encourage community involvement.
The Teletón organizers are finalizing the lineup of artists who will grace the stage during the two-day event. The performances are expected to add a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere to the fundraising drive, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.
Teletón 2025 underscores the importance of community support in addressing the healthcare needs of Costa Rica’s aging population. The initiative promises not only to raise vital funds but also to raise awareness about the crucial role of rehabilitation in improving the quality of life for senior citizens.
As the event draws closer, the organizers are encouraging everyone to participate and contribute to this important cause. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, every contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of Costa Rica’s elderly population.
