Nealsen will receive updates on his sponsored reindeer Wallace, who is at the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre Glenmore, near Aviemore.
He will also receive regular updates on Wallace's well being and general information about the other reindeers in the herd.
The sponsorship will go towards the Wallace's feed, care throughout the year anything else he might need!
Nealsen's mum Jo said that he only recently saw one of his friends with an adoption pack and really wanted one.
She said: "It's amazing he's won! He's so pleased - we were only talking about getting gone the other day!"
