Sanitas Skincare conducted a doll drive throughout the month of December to support the Denver-based nonprofit Dolls for Daughters.

Founded by Jessica Bachus after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn in 2007, the charity provides dolls to local area shelters, Samaritan House, Denver Children’s Home, The Gathering Place, and SafeHouse to distribute to children during the holiday season.

Sanitas provided 150 dolls to Denver area children in need.
