Commemorative Toy-Building Promotions

This In-Store Promotion Celebrates National Teddy Bear Day

Build-A-Bear Workshop is currently celebrating National Teddy Bear Day with a special promotion that helps children across the globe. Not only is the company offering special deals in its stores, but it is also launching a donation-matching program that supports children's charities in the US, Canada and the UK.

On Friday, September 9th, Build-A-Bear Workshop will allow children to make their own National Teddy Bear Day bear for just $5. In addition to their personalized toy, kids will also be able to pick up two other commemorative bears called Lil' Vanilla Bean Cub and Lil' Hazelnut Cub. The company will then match the sale of each bear by donating a second furry friend to charitable organizations such as Toys for Tots, the Boys and Girls Club of Canada and Childhood First.
