More than 100 kids have been named Huggable Heroes by Build-A-Bear Workshop! Many
started their own nonprofit organizations and inspired others to join their causes. Collectively,
the Huggable Heroes have raised more than $9.4 million, have collected over 316 million items
to donate and recruited thousands of volunteers to help with their efforts. Our program has
recognized future leaders, and we hope inspired other young people to make a positive difference
in their communities and around the world. In 2013, the Huggable Heroes program is celebrating
its tenth year of honoring youth who do their part with heart. They continue to make our
world a better place through their generosity and kindness.
