Dear Andy,

This is my 18th year with Toys for Tots, and every year I’m moved by the generosity of our supporters—but today, on Giving TOYSday, my heart is especially full. 

And there are three reasons why: 

1. Relief. Families across America have faced challenge after challenge this year—higher prices, tougher choices, and tighter budgets. Your Giving TOYSday gift means we can tell even more parents, “Don’t worry. We’ve got Christmas covered.”

2. Joy. For 78 years, Toys for Tots has been delivering joy to children in need through the gift of toys, books, and games. And the outpouring of love we’re seeing today means countless more will experience that sparkle of magic on Christmas morning.

3. Hope. On this day of global generosity, every gift—big or small—reminds children that they’re seen and loved—filling their hearts with hope.

Andy, this is it—your final hours to make Christmas morning magical for children in need.

Please, make Toys for Tots your Giving TOYSday priority by giving the most generous contribution you can. 

The response today has already been incredible—and if you’ve already contributed, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  

But if not, there’s still time. In the days leading up to Christmas, we continue receiving more requests from worried parents who simply can’t afford gifts this year. 

Your gift right now can change that—bringing relief to struggling parents and joy to their children on Christmas morning. I’ll be watching the list tonight … and I promise to let Santa know your name belongs at the very top of his “nice” list. 🎅 

Thank you so much for your generosity,
