Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the interactive entertainment
retailer of customized stuffed animals, is continuing its support
of The Children’s Heart Foundation (CHF) this Valentine’s Day. For
the fourth year in a row, Guests can donate $1 to congenital heart
defect research when they check out at any Build-A-Bear Workshop
retail location in the United States, online at buildabear.com® or
by purchasing purple satin hearts in Canada throughout the month of
February.
Last year, Build-A-Bear Workshop Guests raised over $178,000 for
The Children’s Heart Foundation, bringing the three year total to
over $594,000. This donation funds research into the most common
and deadly birth defect in the United States.
Guests can also give the gift of a hug or kiss this Valentine’s
Day with new lovable furry friends. Hugs-A-Plenty Puppy ($16) and
LOVE Hello Kitty® ($23) make adorable Valentine’s Day gifts.
Personalize these sweet friends with clothing, accessories, sounds
and scents to make the perfect gift.
Guests can also give back at Bearville.com™ - the company’s
virtual world and entertainment destination. Through March 31,
Guests can choose to donate a portion of the proceeds from the
purchase of Bearville Outfitters® Virtual Stuff Game Cards to The
Children’s Heart Foundation when activating their cards.
Build-A-Bear Workshop believes in the teddy bear philosophy of
being good people and good bears. Since its inception in 1997, 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 $31 million to children’s health and wellness,
animals, literacy and other important causes.
