What is the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation?
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has
exemplified the spirit of giving for nearly 80 years. Since 1947, it has brought
comfort, joy, and hope to children in need at Christmastime through the gift
of new toys, books, and games. Recognizing that the needs of disadvantaged
children extend beyond the holiday season, Toys for Tots has evolved into a
year-round program dedicated to serving children navigating family crisis and
extraordinary circumstances—ensuring that hope, kindness, and opportunity
reach those who need them most.
Why DTCare?
Many charities with honorable missions lack the bandwidth to run
effective fundraising campaigns year-round. Through this
competition, DTCare allows the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
to spend less time raising funds and more time focusing on their
mission.
Does Hasbro, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, or
Vanessa Hudgens run this competition?
No. Colossal Management, LLC runs the Toddler of the Year
competition as part of a fundraising campaign on behalf of
DTCare, a 501(c)(3) charity.
