Eli should be Toddler of the Year because his sweet and loving nature brings joy to everyone around him.
We would like to thank you for supporting Eli 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.
Eli has a vibrant and magnetic personality that draws people in wherever he goes. He’s sweet, affectionate, and full of joy, with a playful spirit and a wild imagination that brings his world—and everyone else’s—to life. Whether he’s pretending to be Spider-Man, sharing a laugh, or simply showing up with his blanket in hand, Eli’s presence is comforting, fun, and unforgettable. He’s the kind of child who makes ordinary moments feel extraordinary.
What are Eli's favorite activities?Eli has a big imagination and loves pretending to be Spider-Man, often seen shooting webs while carrying his beloved blanket like Linus from Charlie Brown. He’s fascinated by excavators, enjoys going to Sunday school, and has a strong love for pizza—so much so that he identifies his favorite by the color of the box, knowing that white means Domino’s and orange means Little Caesars.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Investing $25,000 in Eli’s education would create a strong foundation for his future, opening doors to learning opportunities that support his bright imagination and love for discovery. It would allow for quality early childhood education, enrichment programs, and savings for future schooling—giving Eli the tools he needs to grow, thrive, and reach his full potential.
