[Special K's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-special-k-cereals) Special for a Reason campaign spotlights inspiring individuals and shares their stories to help make them feel both seen and special, and in partnership with [Molly Baz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-maid), the cereal brand is launching the first-ever cereal boxes depicting a pregnant woman.

The Molly Baz x Special K limited-edition cereal box celebrate the miracle of pregnancy and motherhood, and invites breakfast cereal lovers to get to know the longtime Special K fan and consumer, who says, "Cereal got me through pregnancy in a very real way."

This partnership with Molly Baz, the best-selling cookbook author, is the first Special Edition in the Special for a Reason campaign. To mark this milestone partnership, Special K is donating $25,000 to [United Way's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-television-streaming) Women United program to support and uplift women and girls.
