American Girl Brands Commences Anniversary Celebration with Blowout Party and
President Donald Trump
NEW YORK – American Girl Brands LLC is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a huge
blowout party on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at its American Girl retail store in
Rockefeller Plaza. This extravagant event is expected to draw a crowd of over 5,000 guests with
a special appearance made by President Donald Trump.
Trump congratulated the organization saying “For 30 years, American Girl has fostered the
imaginative spirit of millions of children around the world. We celebrate three decades of
individual expression and creativity made possible by the dedicated company.”
Guests can expect to enjoy plenty of balloons, a humongous birthday cake, and party favors
packaged with special products. In addition, three winners of the History in the Making short
story contest will be publicly announced at 10 a.m. Following the announcements, Trump and
company president Katy Dickson will deliver speeches to guests.
The History in the Making contest, gaged for children 3-12 years old, allows participants to
creatively write and illustrate a story based on the lives of a historical American Girl Doll.
American Girl Brands will permanently the winners’ creations display at the retail store in New
York. A randomly selected contestant from each age group will win a free two-day, two-night
stay in the Big Apple where the retail store is located.
“We at American Girl have been privileged to spawn 30 years of creativity in children of all ages
across the United States and around the world,” said Dickson. “We celebrate their
accomplishments and commit ourselves to continuing our mission for another 30 years—and
beyond.”

The party will unveil special yearlong displays, including an interactive depiction of a U.S.
historical timeline with American Girl dolls. Interview and photo opportunities will be available
during the day of the party.
