Global superstar Beyoncé joins the epic line up of creative visionaries supporting Disney’s Create 100 online auction in support of Make-A-Wish Foundation and honoring Disney’s 100th anniversary.

Renowned creators, brands and next generation talent from 18 countries are taking part, including: adidas, Christian Louboutin, Maison Valentino, NIGO, Pandora, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Tommy Hilfiger, Vik Muniz and Virgil Abloh Securities/ALASKA ALASKA.

Additionally, Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios), Jennifer Lee (Walt Disney Animation Studios), Jon Landau (Lightstorm Entertainment) and Pete Docter (Pixar Animation Studios) have also donated special items celebrating their respective studios, movies and stories.

Kevin Feige, producer and president of Marvel Studios, is the driving creative force behind billion-dollar franchises and an unprecedented number of blockbuster feature films and series, all connected within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Tommy Hilfiger’s unique combination of modern prep and reinvented classics has become synonymous with American cool style. The reworked iconic varsity jacket features Manga Mickey & Friends who also appeared in the Summer Pre-Fall 2023 Disney x Tommy capsule collection. Clarence Ruth, a partner of the brand’s People’s Place Program, joins the initiative as enlisted by Tommy Hilfiger.

Kimmiski Adams is a former educator, a visual artist, and now a Color and Materials Designer for adidas Basketball, from Texas. Taking a leap to join the S.E.E.D. program with adidas has allowed her to pursue the dream of being a designer in the footwear industry. Adams created a custom pair of adidas sneakers designed to honor the story of Princess Tiana from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog.

Enriching the legacy of the classic film The Lion King for a new generation, the catsuit worn by Beyoncé in the film Black is King joins this iconic line up.

Fans around the globe will have the chance to bid on unique items and experiences inspired by each creator’s personal connection to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and 20th Century Studios’ stories and characters. The auction will run across 18 countries from October 12 until October 30, 2023 with funds from auction sales going to Make-A-Wish.

Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist who explores the realms of popular culture, art history, and everyday objects. Making use of unconventional materials, he creates impactful images challenging traditional notions of representation.

To commemorate this initiative, Disney is donating $1 million globally to Make-A-Wish to support the granting of life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

For more than 40 years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have granted wishes together for more than 150,000 children with critical illnesses worldwide and Disney is honored to be the world’s top wish granter for Make-A-Wish. The life-changing wishes include shopping sprees, studio visits, theme park and resort vacations, cruises, talent meet-and-greets, sports-themed experiences and more. Many Disney cast members are also wish-granting volunteers, parents of wish kids or wish alumni themselves.
