Goofy, fearless, rainsoaked and sunkissed-Nora turns every beach trip into magic. Learned to walk in the sand and loved with her whole heart
We would like to thank you for supporting Nora Palmer 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.
Nora is a rain-dancing, salmon-loving, beach-walking burst of joy. She learned to walk in sand, speaks gibberish with confidence, and laughs like it’s her job. We’ve gone to the beach over 300 times this year, in every kind of weather—she never tires of it, and neither do I. She’s goofy, fearless, full of love, and somehow always knows how to make me see the world brighter. I didn’t know what to expect having a daughter—but she’s been the greatest gift of my life.
What are Nora Palmer's favorite activities?Nora’s favorite activities include going to the beach—rain or shine—where she runs in the sand, talks to strangers in confident gibberish, and collects rocks like treasures. She loves dancing to folk music, eating salmon with two hands, and chasing birds she’ll never catch. She insists on coffee time with us every morning, refuses stroller covers in the rain, and finds joy in puddles, playgrounds, and anything silly. Her world is a mix of chaos, curiosity, and pure wonder.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would contribute to an RESP we’ve already started for Nora. It would help give her the freedom to pursue whatever path she chooses—university, art school, trades, travel—without the weight of financial stress. We want her to chase her dreams with an open heart and steady footing. This would be a huge step toward that future.
