As enthusiasm builds for the biggest night in the toy community, companies from all corners of the industry are excitedly uniting to support the 2023 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards and its mission to deliver the extraordinary benefits of play to children in need. The Toy Foundation (TTF) is proud to announce the initial lineup of sponsors, including:
Presenting Sponsors: Amazon, Mattel, and Spin Master
Vision Sponsors: ChizSix, Hasbro, Jazwares, The LEGO Group, Nightglass Media, Toysmith, and VTech
Mission Sponsors: Beacon Media Group, Circana, Melissa & Doug, Moose Toys, and Radio Flyer

Every sponsorship has a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children through TTF’s program areas: The Toy BankSM; Play Grants; and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. In 2022, the industry’s support helped TTF reach more than 925,000 children and families. Thanks to this powerful group of sponsors, plus yearlong contributors, YOUR Foundation will continue to expand and reach even more children in need.
“We are delighted by the broad-based support for the TOTY Awards and the genuine excitement for engaging in the work YOUR Foundation is doing to deliver joy to children in need,” said Pamela Mastrota, executive director of The Toy Foundation.
