Barbie has a unique new way of thanking front line heroes for their work

As the coronavirus pandemic continues around the world, we’re reminded every day of the unlikely heroes in this crisis: First responders like firefighters, EMTs, and medical professionals, of course, but also teachers, journalists, restaurant workers, and more people who have had to continue working to provide all of us with essential services. Now, Mattel is honoring those workers in a special new way: For every Barbie Career doll they sell, they’ll donate one to the kids of real first responders, via the First Responders Children’s Foundation.
