Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the interactive retailer of customized
stuffed animals, announced today an initiative to raise funds for
JDRF in honor of National Diabetes Awareness Month. Throughout
November, Build-A-Bear Workshop Guests can support JDRF by adding
$1 to their total purchase at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores in the
United States and online at buildabear.com®. All store locations in
Canada will also be offering special purple satin hearts for $1 to
support JDRF. The Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation will direct the
funds raised to JDRF and its chapters throughout North America.
“We are proud to support causes like JDRF that are important to
our Guests,” said Maxine Clark, Build-A-Bear Workshop founder and
chief executive bear. “Diabetes is a growing concern among families
and we join with JDRF in their dedicated efforts to finding a
cure.”
These efforts are focused toward JDRF’s goal of improving the
lives of every person affected by type 1 Diabetes (T1D), an
autoimmune disease which affects as many as 3 million people in the
United States alone. As the leading global organization focused on
type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, JDRF is working to accelerate
progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better
treating, and preventing T1D. Over the last eight years, the
Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation has donated more than $575,000 to
JDRF.
“We are grateful for the support of Build-A-Bear Workshop
Foundation in their generosity to JDRF,” said Yvonne Miller,
national director of corporate development for JDRF. “Through each
dollar donated, JDRF will be able to continue to fund research for
type 1 diabetes.”
Build-A-Bear Workshop believes in the teddy bear philosophy of
being good people and good bears. Throughout its 14 year history,
Build-A-Bear Workshop has given Guests a voice in supporting causes
that are important to them, including children’s health and
wellness, literacy and education, animals and the environment.
Since the company’s inception, Build-A-Bear Workshop has donated
more than $30 million to these causes.
