Monster High 2024 Pride Collab | Mattel Creations
PRIDE IN FULL BLOOM
The LGBTQIA+ community is a vibrant garden of identities, thanks to the expansive intersectionality of people’s stories and experiences. The artists we commissioned embody and celebrate this variety.
Monster High fosters a community where people embrace each other’s differences. From June 7th until July 6th, 2024, for each Monster High Pride Capsule Collection item sold on Mattel Creations, Mattel will donate $1 to GLAAD (up to $50,000), the world's largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization which works to ensure authentic LGBTQ stories are seen, heard, and actualized.*
