Barbie Celebrates 65 Years by Empowering Girls in Sports
In honor of Barbie's 65th anniversary, Mattel, Inc. is celebrating nine incredible female athletes from around the world with one-of-a-kind dolls made in their likeness. Recognizing the positive impact of sports on girls' self-confidence and ambition, Barbie aims to show young girls that anything is possible through passion and perseverance. This initiative is part of Barbie's ongoing commitment to leveling the playing field for girls globally, as exemplified by the Barbie Dream Gap Project.
Barbie is also partnering with VOICEINSPORT to offer free virtual mentoring sessions with these inspiring Barbie Role Models, including tennis icon Venus Williams! This partnership aims to further encourage girls to stay in sports and pursue their dreams. As part of this celebration, Barbie has also launched new sports-themed doll lines, and playsets, along with exciting collaborations with brands like Nettie, the creator of the stylish and high-quality pickleball gear featured in our Barbie™ x Nettie collection. With these initiatives, Barbie continues to inspire and empower the next generation of women athletes.
Women Uplifting Women 🙌
I'm thrilled for Catherine and Nettie, and this collaboration is a perfect example of what happens when women empower each other.
Speaking of empowering women, you're the first to know that Pickleball in the Sun will soon be announcing an exciting apparel collaboration with Girl Tribe Co.
I am incredibly honored and excited for this collaboration, especially since I have known the founder of Girl Tribe Co., Carrie Barker, since my young professional days in Charlotte back in 2007. It's truly a full circle moment to have the opportunity to collaborate with our two female-founded entrepreneurial brands.
Get ready for the collab!
