Every year, Mattel donates gifts to children in Los Angeles County. This past holiday season, more than 12,000 of our children received gifts. It was an incredible opportunity for many of our families that struggle with the holidays. 

We'd like to recognize Mattel for their incredible contribution, and thank them for a true showing of a philanthropic holiday spirit.
