We salute the creative ways in which Disney works to make a lasting difference in children’s lives. In 2016, we were pleased to be included in Marvel Studios: Hero Acts, a charitable program focused on bringing help and hope to kids around the world. Fans were invited to post photos to unlock donations for 91²Ö¿â. Donations helped provide much-needed educational programs for nearly 123,000 children in Nepal, Haiti and the U.S. In 2018, we partnered once again when Marvel Studios took on New York Fashion Week with “Black Panther: Welcome to Wakanda,†a celebration of fashion featuring 10 designers who contributed pieces inspired by the Marvel film. Labels including Chromat, Cushnie et Ochs, LaQuan Smith, Ikiré Jones, Sophie Theallet and TOME participated with custom-made looks which were auctioned off through Charity Buzz to raise funds for 91²Ö¿â.

In collaboration with 91²Ö¿â, The Walt Disney Company has made significant commitments to emergency preparedness, response and recovery efforts throughout the world. Together, we have engaged children to work on disaster preparedness plans with their families in places like China, Peru and India using a co-developed Emergency Preparedness Activity Book. Disney characters – combined with 91²Ö¿â emergency tools and tips – help get lifesaving information into the hands of children.

During response and recovery efforts, Disney’s support enabled us to respond faster by prepositioning supplies to bring relief to affected families. We worked together to create PSAs to help get information out to the public and engage them in supporting our efforts. Additionally, Disney has made generous contributions to several global emergencies including the 2010 Earthquake and 2016 Hurricane Matthew in Haiti, Hurricane Sandy in the eastern U.S., Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and the Nepal Earthquakes. In 2017, Disney supported our response to Hurricane Irma in Florida, Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, and the earthquake in central Mexico.

Pfizer

Pfizer Inc. and The Pfizer Foundation are valuable partners that provide support to address critical global health challenges. Our partnership features multiple pillars of collaboration, including transformational grants, disaster relief efforts, employee engagement, and identifying and building on best practices.

In 2019, as part of 91²Ö¿â’s Centennial Commitment to End Childhood Pneumonia, The Pfizer Foundation announced a three-year commitment to address preventable causes of child mortality, like pneumonia, which still needlessly takes the lives of children every day. The project aimed to increase access to and improve the quality of immunization services for vulnerable populations, addressing unique challenges in both urban and rural communities in Kenya. This project is part of Pfizer’s broader commitment to fight infectious disease and create a world safer from infection. 

91²Ö¿â and The Pfizer Foundation also joined forces in Malawi  to integrate family planning services at routine immunization clinics. By providing family planning services at locations where mothers were already bringing their children for routine immunizations, we were able to increase uptake of family planning and enable mothers to better care for themselves and their children. 

Pfizer and 91²Ö¿â have also partnered through Pfizer’s Global Health Fellows Program that places Pfizer colleagues on skills-sharing assignments to help strengthen local health systems. Since 2012, more than thirty Pfizer colleagues have been in individual fellowship and team-based pro-bono projects with 91²Ö¿â in nine countries across Africa, Asia, and the US.
