The main organizer is Fernando Landeros.
Although the main show is produced by the Televisa network, it gathers many other TV and radio stations with some of their most famous anchors, actors and singers for a common broadcast.
The Teleton Foundation has built over 20 therapy hospitals (as of 2018) in Mexico called CRIT (Teleton Children Rehabilitation Center) for handicapped children and also one for oncology, one for autism and a specialized university to provide specialists for all of them.
Teleton has been mistakenly attacked in social media because of the help it receives from Televisa; the doubts of whether this powerful TV network gets benefits because of the show in the form of tax deductions are unrelated to the work of Teleton.
Fernando Landeros' nickname is Chobi because he was chubby when a toddler.
