Rio is Toddler of the Year because he brings joy and laughter everywhere he goes!
We would like to thank you for supporting Rio 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.
Rio is full of life and always smiling his grin lights up every room. He’s wild, full of energy, and definitely keeps us on our toes with his mischievous ways. But no matter what kind of trouble he stirs up, it’s impossible to stay mad at him. He’s our little sunshine with a playful spirit and the sweetest charm.
What are Rio's favorite activities?Rio loves playing with his 6 year old sister and it doesn’t matter if it’s with the baby dolls , cars or riding his tricycle He also enjoys to hang out with his 16 year old brother
How would $25,000 impact your family?My husband serves in the U.S. Air Force, and while we’re proud of his service, military life can be hard especially being far from family. I’m originally from Germany, and this grant would allow us to take our kids to visit their grandma there, helping them connect with their heritage and loved ones. The remaining funds would go into our son Rio’s college savings, giving him a more secure future. This support would bring our family closer and ease some of the long-term financial burden we face
