With a smile like sunshine and a heart full of kindness, Hazel lights up every room and leaves joy everywhere she goes.
We would like to thank you for supporting Hazel 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.
Hazel is a bright, bubbly soul with a heart as big as her smile. Born into a military family, she’s learned to adapt with grace, meeting every new place and face with curiosity and kindness. Whether she’s making a stranger laugh, comforting a friend, or sharing her toys, she leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Her joyful spirit, quick wit, and gentle heart make her wise beyond her years; proof that kindness can shine, even in the smallest package.
What are Hazel's favorite activities?Hazel loves exploring the world with wide-eyed wonder. Reading books at bedtime is her nightly joy, and she can recite most of her ABCs and count (almost!) to 20. She’s happiest on adventures; trips to the zoo, seeing animals, or discovering something new. Painting is her ultimate passion, and her colorful masterpieces cover our home. Whether she’s learning, creating, or making friends, Hazel approaches every moment with excitement and a bright, contagious smile.
How would $25,000 impact your family?As a military family, we’ve learned to embrace change and sacrifice. When Hazel was just two weeks old, her dad was deployed, and I left my career to support his service. This gift would help us catch up on bills, start a college fund for Hazel, and give her a strong foundation for the future. It would be an investment not only in her education, but in her dreams; helping her grow into the kind, capable person she’s already becoming.
