IMAGINING SHE CAN BE ANYTHING IS JUST
THE BEGINNING. ACTUALLY SEEING THAT SHE
CAN MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Barbie is committed to shining a light on empowering role models in an effort to inspire more girls. As a part of The Barbie Dream Gap Project, we’re introducing girls to remarkable women’s stories to show them you can be anything. In celebration of the 5th anniversary of The Barbie Dream Gap Project, Barbie teamed up with Inspiring Girls International to host a global auction featuring replicas of one-of-a-kind dolls originally launched over the past five years. The role model dolls for auction include Shonda Rhimes, Helene Darroze, Katya Echazaretta, Hui Ruoqi and Bebe Vio.
The global auction hosted by Inspiring Girls International will end Tuesday, November 29th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Bidding for Good. All proceeds generated from this auction will support likeminded organizations Inspiring Girls International, Fundación Espacial Katya Echazarreta (proceeds from the Katya doll), and art4sport (proceeds from the Bebe doll). The Bebe Vio doll was auctioned on Ebay and has now sold.
