The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum announced a bobblehead to honor Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the lead members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

The museum, located in Milwaukee, said it will donate $5 from every Dr. Fauci bobblehead sold to the American Hospital Association in support of the 100 Million Mask Challenge.

The bobblehead features Fauci wearing a suit and the museum says it illustrates how the nation needs to "flatten the curve."

The bobbleheads are now available for pre-order exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. They are $25 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order and are expected to ship in July.

As head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease since 1984, the 79-year-old Fauci has advised six presidents. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S., by President George W. Bush in 2008.

"Bobbleheads are the ultimate honor, and we think Dr. Fauci deserves it given what he has done and continues to do for our country and the world in the battle against COVID-19,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a statement. “We received a lot of requests for a bobblehead of Dr. Fauci and are excited to be able to use the bobblehead to raise funds for a vital organization that is helping limit the spread of the coronavirus while making people smile during these unprecedented times.”
