Mattel Spreads Holiday Cheer

  1. Updates

Thank you! Mattel donated gifts of toys to 12,000 Playworks students in Los Angeles this year. It was an incredible opportunity for many of our families who struggle with the holiday season. We'd like to recognize Mattel for their incredible contribution, and thank them for a true showing of a philanthropic holiday spirit.
