American Girl Scrubs Outfit Sales Benefit First Responders Children's Foundation

American Girl’s #ThankYouHeroes Program aims to give back to first responders working to keep us safe through the First Responders Children’s Foundation. For every #ThankYouHeroes doll scrubs outfit sold, the doll company will donate a doll craft activity book to the foundation to make a child smile. This initiative is part of Mattel’s “Play It Forward” campaign, in which Mattel brands raise awareness of relevant causes like coronavirus relief. Your child can nominate a local hero in her life and win a custom-made American Girl doll in the hero’s likeness too through the “Heroes with a Heart” contest, which will run until June 26.

To submit to the contest, have your child submit a photo of their favorite frontline hero and telling American Girl how the hero is supporting your community. Five grand prize winners will receive a custom American Girl doll (to be gifted to the frontline hero), and a $200 American Girl gift card for the child. The winners and their dolls will be revealed in August, according to Red Tricycle. Nominate your hero now!

American Girl is also giving away a doll face mask for free beginning in mid-June, and to each child who visits a reopened American Girl store. The New York store is closed for now, but you can make your own face mask at home by following American Girl’s handy DIY guide on the Stay & Play hub, which provides families with fun activities to do in quarantine.
