Build-A-Bear Workshops
CHF are once again in partnership with Build-A-Bear Workshop to help raise awareness of Children’s Heart Month in February 2011.
From January until March, customers visiting any of the 50 UK Build-A-Bear Workshops are able to support this initiative by purchasing a purple heart for £1.00. A percentage of the purchase price from each purple heart will be donated to CHF.
Cyber-Savvy bear fans are also able to help, with any purchase of a Bearville Outfitter gift card online (which provides credit for virtual items on buildabearville.com) offering the option to donate 5% of the sale price of the card to CHF.
Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. is the leading and only global company that offers an interactive make-your-own stuffed animal retail-entertainment experience. Founded in 1997, the company and its franchisees currently operate more than 400 Build-A-Bear Workshop stores worldwide. In 2007, the interactive experience was enhanced - all the way to CyBEAR space - with the launch of buildabearville.com, the company’s virtual world stuffed with fun.
Build-A-Bear Workshop believes in the teddy bear philosophy of being good people and good bears. Throughout its 14 year history, the company has shared the hug of a teddy bear wherever needed in local communities and abroad

CHF kicked off our programme of bear related fun for children's heart week 2011 at the Bournemouth branch of Build-A-Bear Workshop on Wednesday 9th February. Year 2 of Kinson Primary School built bears as valentine's gifts for heart children alongside Coronation Street and Impressions Show star Debra Stephenson.
