American Girl presents Shine On Now – We are an official Parent Partner
Category : Featured Reviews, Giveaways, Nonprofit & Causes
When I think of American Girl I remember the days when I was about my daughter’s age. I remember the love I had for those dolls. Samantha, she was my absolute favorite. I would flip through the catalog for weeks after it arrived in the mail. I treasured each moment I had with the dolls, their accessories, and also reading each book.
When American Girl contacted me to be part of their Parent Partner team I was thrilled. Not only to be teamed up with such a legendary company to me but to be part of their new Shine On Now program. This new program that was released on June 28th, 2010 is a charitable initiative bringing together the power of girls and helping the community. By bringing together the strength of girls nationwide American Girl will be giving away $1 million dollars in dolls, books, clothes, and money to four organizations:
- Kids in Distressed Situation
- National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions
- National Wildlife Federation and
- Save the Children
Girls can now sign up on the Shine On Now website to become official American Girl Ambassador. When you sign up as an official ambassador you can download a free tool kit to help the girl in your life be a strong member of the community. The kit will help with tips and ideas for fund-raising, volunteering and donating to the above listed organizations.
To help girls nationwide to be the best they can be American Girl is also launching a virtual campus called Innerstar University™. Innerstar University™ is a fun virtual world where you can take quizzes, play games, and other fun activities. By learning on American Girl’s virtual campus it helps girls learn confidence building skills and strength. This is the sort of learning that is important for me to have my daughter to see and understand.
To join in to this great charitable program be sure to check out Shine On Now, Innerstar U and American Girl.

Ohhhh I remember reading American Girl books when I was younger!! I always wanted one of their dolls!!!!
I think this is a wonderful program. I am more inspired to buy from a company when they do so much to help those in need.
Thanks for sharing!

American Girls is the best doll we ever invested in. These are cleanable, playable, huggable, and kissable for every. My daughter has 2 one my husband and I saved long and hard for one Christmas and the other she won in a competiton. Both are loved a lot.
