Meet Daniel: curly red hair, endless giggles, boundless energy, and a heart full of joy. He’s our sunshine and our superhero in one!
We would like to thank you for supporting Daniel in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Daniel is funny, friendly, and fearless! When his brother graduated from pre-K, Daniel spotted an empty seat onstage, marched right up, and proudly sat with the big kids—like he belonged there all along.
What are Daniel's favorite activities?Daniel’s favorite activities include hugging his big brother every chance he gets, zooming around on his toy tractor like he owns the farm, and building sandy masterpieces (and the occasional “soup”) in his sandbox. Whether he’s chasing bubbles, digging dirt, or teaming up with his brother for big adventures, Daniel always adds a dash of giggles and a whole lot of heart to everything he does.
How would $25,000 impact your family?We have two wonderful boys but tragically lost our youngest last year at just 10 days old. Despite this heartbreak, our older sons have shown incredible strength and love. A $25,000 gift would help us create joyful, meaningful experiences for them—moments filled with laughter, wonder, and healing—and honor their resilience and the memory of their baby brother by making their childhood even more special.
