A Viral Bernie’s Mittens Crochet Doll Led To A Charity Donation of Over €30,000
A sensational Bernie’s Mittens crochet doll listed on eBay has led to a charity donation of more than 30,000 euros.
A photo of the US senator went viral after Bernie Sanders sported a parka, hand-knit mittens, and a surgical blue mask, and people edited him into everything from iconic locations to scenes from popular movies.
Sanders then turned the meme into a crewneck sweatshirt to raise money for charity, and it sold out, but the meme inspired something else too… Tobey King designed the ‘Bernie’s Mittens Crochet Doll’, which quickly captured the attention of many, and she announced that the original doll would be sold to raise money for the same charity.
