Because he laughs with his whole heart, loves big, dances wild, and turns every moment into magic.
We would like to thank you for supporting Manukoraka 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.
Manukoraka is a curious, spirited explorer with a big heart and a vivid imagination. He loves to move, create, and ask endless questions, often surprising us with his insight. Sensitive yet bold, he feels emotions deeply and thrives on connection, laughter, and play. He learns fast, by testing boundaries with growing independence, and lights up the room with his unique spark and joy.
What are Manukoraka's favorite activities?My 3-year-old loves diving into books, especially when cuddled up with his brothers. He’s a fearless sword fighter on epic backyard quests and a natural gymnast, flipping, climbing, and tumbling with joy. At the beach, he digs and splashes with boundless energy. He adores car chases, truck adventures, and building big things. Whether reading, wrestling, or racing with his siblings, he’s happiest when he’s active, imaginative, and surrounded by family.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would make a lasting impact on our family. It would allow us to invest in our 3-year-old’s education, passions like gymnastics and reading, and adventures that spark his imagination. It would also help us create special memories as a family and provide stability as we raise three young children. This support would mean more time, opportunities, and love poured into the bright, joyful little boy we’re so proud of.
