Are You a Huggable Hero?

The Build-A-Bear Workshop is looking for Huggable Heroes! Huggable Heroes is a program that recognizes young leaders that are making positive contributions. In 2010, ten Huggable Heroes between the ages of 8 and 18 will receive an educational scholarship, a donation to a charity of each Hero’s choice, and a trip to St. Louis, Missouri. The photo above shows the 2009 Huggable Heroes. Entries will be accepted through February 26, 2010.

Visit the Huggable Heroes website to find out more and enter, or pick up an entry form at a participating Build-A-Bear Workshop store.
