Build-A-Bear Adds a Little More Heart to Life
Building on an initial $300,000 donation to Canine Companions for Independence in honor of the retailer’s 20th Birthday in 2017, Build-A-Bear® Workshop and Build-A-Bear Foundation™ continue to increase their commitment to Canine Companions by leading national fundraising campaigns to help provide even more service dogs to children and adults with disabilities.
Build-A-Bear’s love for furry friends is central to their mission of adding a little more heart to life – which is why we are thrilled to partner with Build-A-Bear to help raise an assistance dog! Assistance dogs often become best friends to their human partners, and Build-A-Bear Foundation is joining our ongoing mission of providing quality partnerships and forever friendships.
