My son is sweet, silly, bold, and brave—with a tender heart and the funniest sense of humor. He’s truly one of a kind.
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 is a determined, independent little boy with natural leadership qualities. He notices every detail and loves things just the way he likes them—especially his toys and routines. He’s also incredibly silly, with a sense of humor beyond his years that keeps us laughing with his jokes and expressions. Beneath his boldness is a sweet, loving heart. He craves hugs, affection, and connection. Eli is the perfect blend of strong-willed and tender, bringing joy, love, and laughter to those around him.
What are Eli's favorite activities?Eli has a vivid imagination and loves pretend play, often acting out his favorite superheroes and villains with excitement. He enjoys being active, especially through swimming, where he’s grown more confident in his abilities this past year. Eli is also a natural athlete, particularly in ball sports. He loves dribbling the basketball, playing baseball with his dad, and challenging himself with golf. His energy, creativity, and love for movement shine in everything he does.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would provide our family with the financial freedom to support Eli and his sister Isla’s growth and development. It would help cover the cost of Eli’s play therapy sessions, which are currently not covered by insurance, ensuring he continues to receive the support he needs. Additionally, the funds would help us invest in educational assistance, extracurricular activities that foster their talents and interests, and future college expenses—creating lasting opportunities for both children.
