Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the interactive entertainment retailer
of customized stuffed animals, announced today that it is
celebrating Military Appreciation Month by supporting the USO and
offering troops and their families a military discount. The
Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation will invite Guests to donate $1 at
checkout registers May 3 through June 7 in any Build-A-Bear
Workshop retail location in the United States to support the USO,
which provides morale, welfare and recreational activities to
service members and their families. Also during this timeframe, all
members of the armed services and their direct dependents will
receive a 20% discount on any purchase at Build-A-Bear Workshop
store locations in the United States with the presentation of a
valid government issued military identification card.
“We are so grateful to our brave troops and their families who
serve our nation and are excited to extend this offer to them,”
said Maxine Clark, Build-A-Bear Workshop founder and chief
executive bear. “In addition, our partnership with the USO will
help provide military men and women with free Internet access,
libraries, game rooms, nursery facilities, and other needed
services.”
The commitment to support the USO is part of the overall mission
of Build-A-Bear Workshop, which believes in the teddy bear
philosophy of helping others by being good people and good bears.
Throughout its 13 year history, the company has shared the hug of a
teddy bear wherever needed in local communities and abroad.
Build-A-Bear Workshop has given Guests a voice in supporting the
causes that are important to them and through its corporate
donations and foundation grant programs, has given more than $25
million to children's health and wellness, animals, literacy and
other important causes.
For Guests looking for a special way to salute their favorite
military hero, Build-A-Bear Workshop offers a variety of military
inspired options. The Camo Bear ($18) complete with a
Build-A-Sound® ($8) for Guests to use to record a 10-second
