Business Wire
Build-A-Bear Workshop® is announcing the last call for
nominations of the 2013 Huggable Heroes® youth service award. The
program celebrates achievements of kids ages eight through 18 and
their efforts to make the world a better place. Ten young
volunteers will be named Huggable Heroes and will each receive
$10,000 in scholarships and prizes. Build-A-Bear Workshop is
accepting nominations through February 28th at
buildabear.com/huggableheroes. Entry forms are also
available at Build-A-Bear Workshop stores in the
United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.
The Huggable Heroes are rewarded with a grand prize that
includes an educational scholarship, a donation to a charity of
their choice, and a mentoring scholarship to encourage the growth
of their charitable endeavors. They will also receive a trip to St.
Louis, home of Build-A-Bear Workshop World Bearquarters, where they
will be celebrated for their work, participate in a Jefferson
Awards GLOBECHANGERS BOOTCAMP session, take part in a day of
service, and have their photos taken to potentially be featured in
the Build-A-Bear Workshop 2014 calendar.
Since the company first launched the program in 2004, more than
100 Huggable Heroes have been recognized and collectively awarded
nearly one million dollars in donations and scholarships. As a
group, the Huggable Heroes have raised more than $9.4 million, have
collected more than 316 million items to donate and recruited
thousands of volunteers to extend their efforts.
Build-A-Bear Workshop will honor 80 semifinalists in March and
30 finalists in May. In early June the 10 selected young people
will be named 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Heroes.
“We are excited to celebrate the 10th birthday of the Huggable
Heroes program and to continue to learn about all of our Guests who
are youth leaders,” said Maxine Clark, Build-A-Bear Workshop
founder and chief executive bear. “As we get ready to move into the
semifinalist phase of the program, we are confident that we will
discover, as we do each year, a wonderful group of kids doing
inspiring, meaningful work.”

About the Jefferson Awards for Public Service
The Jefferson Awards was founded in 1972 by Jacqueline Kennedy
Onassis, U.S. Senator Robert Taft, Jr. and Sam Beard as the “Nobel
Prize for public service.” Named for one of America’s most
influential Founding Fathers and the principal author of the
Declaration of Independence, the Jefferson Awards’ central tenet is
that each and every citizen shares a responsibility to work towards
the betterment of their communities through economic participation,
public service, volunteerism and other such efforts to improve life
for all. Today, the mission of the Jefferson Awards is to
recognize, inspire and activate volunteerism and public service in
communities, workplaces and across America. As President John F.
