The Mattel Children's Foundation, through its various charitable investments, seeks to improve the lives of all children in need so that they may grow up happy, healthy, and with the knowledge and skills necessary to become contributing members of a global society.

Mattel is especially proud of its commitment to the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, located in Los Angeles, California. In 1998, Mattel made a multi-year $25 million donation toward construction of a new facility.

DUE TO THIS COMMITMENT, WHICH WILL BE MET AT THE END OF 2004, PROPOSALS ARE NOT CURRENTLY BEING ACCEPTED.
