  • MGA Entertainment Pledges to Support Young Cancer Patients’ Charity CLIC Sargent
    MGA Entertainment pledges to support young cancer patients’ charity CLIC Sargent Earlier this year MGA Entertainment announced its commitment and support to the fight against cancer by launching new versions of their hit doll brands, Bratz® and Moxie Girlz™ without hair. Now MGA Entertainment UK has joined forces with CLIC Sargent, the UK‟s leading cancer charity for children and young people and their families. Under the banner “True Hope” MGA will release two Bratz® dolls - Cloe™ and Yasmin™ and three Moxie Girlz™ dolls, Avery™ and Sophina™. Available exclusively at Toys“R”Us® stores in July, MGA will donate £1 for every “True Hope” Bratz® and Moxie Girlz™ doll sold to CLIC Sargent to support the fantastic work they do for families in the UK. The announcement comes after MGA Entertainment in the USA revealed that it has partnered with the City of Hope charity for its donations ahead of the doll launch state-side in June. The dolls were devised after an ever-growing social media movement called for toymakers to create dolls without hair to comfort young girls and boys who suffer from hair loss due to cancer treatments. The money from the “True Hope” doll sales will support CLIC Sargent‟s mission to raise awareness of cancer and help those affected. From diagnosis onwards, CLIC Sargent is there to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment, and in some cases bereavement. Being diagnosed with cancer is a frightening experience and the emotional, practical and financial implications of treatment are intensely challenging for the whole family.
