The Toy Foundation’s Golf & Give FUNdraiser will take place on September 16, 2026, at TopGolf El Segundo. This event aims to raise critical funds for children in under-resourced communities while celebrating the 40th anniversary of American Girl with nostalgic toy collaborations.
Key facts:
- Sponsorship packages for the event range from $2,500 to $50,000.
- Proceeds will support toy donations and play-focused grants.
- The 2025 fundraiser raised nearly half a million dollars.
Mattel is commemorating American Girl’s milestone with special collaborations. The Fisher-Price Little People Collector set includes all eight original American Girl dolls. The Polly Pocket X American Girl Compacts turn storybooks into foldable micro-playsets.
Pamela Mastrota, a representative from The Toy Foundation, emphasized the importance of industry support. “We made a meaningful difference in the lives of these children, and we need the industry’s support to grow this impact nationwide in 2026 and beyond,” she said.
The event is open to companies and professionals within the toy industry and adjacent fields. When the industry collaborates for good, it enhances opportunities to deliver more play experiences to children globally.
The Toy Foundation has a history of funding initiatives that benefit children’s mental health and education. In previous years, they have supported mental health services at childcare centers and helped rebuild preschools affected by natural disasters.
As anticipation builds for the Golf & Give FUNdraiser, no timeline has been shared regarding future collaborations or initiatives beyond this event.
