Local Toddler Hits Quarterfinals in National Toddler of the Year Contest!

For Pinky and Manoj, their son Veer has always felt special—but it wasn’t until friends, family, and even strangers began noticing how advanced he was for his age that they truly realized it.

When they discovered the Toddler of the Year competition, they saw it as the perfect way to channel all the love and encouragement surrounding Veer into something bigger—a noble cause.

“Entering Veer wasn’t just about the contest,” says Pinky. “It was about supporting Toys for Tots®, a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program that delivers toys—and hope—to millions of children each Christmas, inspiring joy, confidence, and lasting memories.” 🎁💛

What began as a fun way to celebrate with family and friends quickly turned into something remarkable. Veer rose to the top of his group and is now proudly in the Quarterfinals! 🏆

With the support of our Malvern community, we believe Veer has what it takes to go all the way and earn the title of Toddler of the Year.

The family’s dream is to invest the $25,000 grand prize in Veer’s future—funding his higher education and helping secure a bright tomorrow. 🌟
