Each year for the past seven years, Build-A-Bear Workshop, through
its Huggable Heroes program, has searched for and recognized young leaders who
make positive contributions in their communities or around the world.  This
year, ten Huggable Heroes, between the ages of eight and 18, from the United
States and Canada, will be selected and honored for their good deeds.  Each of
the ten Huggable Heroes will receive a prize worth $10,000 ($7,500 in the form
of an educational scholarship and $2,500 from the Build-A-Bear Workshop
Foundation to be donated to the 501(c)(3) charity of each Huggable Hero’s
choice).  In addition, the Huggable Heroes will win a trip for themselves and a
parent to St. Louis, the home of Build-A-Bear Workshop World Bearquarters. 
During their visit, the 2010 Huggable Heroes will meet each other, be honored
for their good deeds and participate in a photo shoot for the 2011 Build-A-Bear
Workshop Huggable Heroes Calendar.

Entries are being accepted through February 26, 2010 here or by picking up an entry form at a
participating Build-A-Bear Workshop store in the United States and Canada.
