“Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation is awarding $25,600 in cash grants to four literacy and education programs across the county. Funding for the grants is made possible by Read Teddy(R) -a special furry friend available in all Build-A-Bear Workshop(R) stores. With the sale of each Read Teddy, one dollar is donated to worthy causes and programs that support reading and literacy for children. ” (9/19/07)
