From October 10 to November 20, 2018, for each like or a share of a public video or photo with the hashtag #DreamBigPrincess, Disney will donate $1 to Girl Up, the United Nation’s initiative to support empowerment and leadership for girls. (Maximum donation $1M.) For this year’s campaign, Disney paired 21 girls from Girl Up with trailblazing women in a variety of fields. Using an iPhone X and Final Cut Pro X, these girls produced short videos, which feature advice and life perspective on success.
