funds for DonorsChoose.org in support of teachers and youth
education nationwide. Now through September 6, the company is
inviting Guests to donate $1 at checkout registers towards this

States. DonorsChoose.org is an organization committed to bettering
the lives of children by providing funds to public school teachers
for classroom projects.
“At Build-A-Bear Workshop, we believe that every child should
have a quality education and every teacher should have the
resources necessary to provide this to all of their students,” said
Maxine Clark, founder and chief executive bear of Build-A-Bear
Workshop. “That is why we are so happy to be partnering with
DonorsChoose.org yet again to give our Guests the opportunity to
support youth education and make a difference in children’s
lives.”
Guests can also celebrate learning by giving back online at
buildabearville.com®, the Build-A-Bear Workshop virtual world.
Guests who purchase Build-A-Bearville® game cards can direct 5% of
the purchase price to support DonorsChoose.org. Inside
Build-A-Bearville, the Bearville Times will also feature a story
highlighting past efforts of Build-A-Bear Workshop and its
foundation to support children’s education.
“Build-A-Bear Workshop has been a tremendous help in supporting
teachers’ classrooms and spreading the word about giving
opportunities with our organization,” said Charles Best, founder of
DonorsChoose.org. “We are thankful to Build-A-Bear Workshop and
their Guests for helping us improve children’s education
nationwide.”
Build-A-Bear Workshop encourages public school teachers to
register with DonorsChoose.org. Teachers simply submit a request
for the resources they need for a classroom project and
DonorsChoose.org gives individuals the ability to donate to the
projects they are interested in. For more information, visit a
