ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5, 2024 // PRNewswire // -- Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc., best known for the unique and memorable experience of creating your own special teddy bear, is once again celebrating National Teddy Bear Day. On September 9, the beloved company will rollback prices to 1997, the year Build-A-Bear started, for one of the company's all-time best-selling products, Lil' Cub, to $9 only for this special day. This offer, as well as other fun activities, will be a part of the celebratory events at participating Workshops. 

The September 9 celebration of National Teddy Bear Day has become an annual tradition for the retailer that has now sold upwards of 240 million furry friends worldwide and has a stated mission to "add a little more heart to life." In the spirit of that mission, and in honor of National Teddy Bear Day, the philanthropic arm of the company, Build-A-Bear Foundation, will be donating more than 10,000 teddy bears to kids in need. This effort is just one part of the Foundation's 2024 goal of providing 100,000 teddy bears to children by the end of the year.

"For more than a quarter century, Build-A-Bear has been driven by an impassioned belief in the importance of the comfort and companionship provided by furry friends, as the company was largely inspired by the love founder Maxine Clark had for her own childhood teddy bear," said Sharon Price John, President & CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop. "National Teddy Bear Day highlights the joy and nostalgia of our teddy bears, which have become integral to countless milestones, from starting a new school year to announcing a new baby. Understanding this impact, we have remained committed to expanding access to teddy bears with efforts like our National Teddy Bear Day promotions, our on-going Count Your Candles Birthday Treat program and charitable donations of thousands of furry friends to children in need," concluded Ms. John.

This year's special offer features the brand's exclusive Lil' Cub® Brownie Teddy Bear and Lil' Cub® Pudding Teddy Bear for $9 at participating Workshops and online where Guests can personalize their teddy bears with a variety of outfits, accessories, sounds, and scents to create their very own unique furry friend. Guests are also invited to join in-store activities, including a meet-and-greet with Build-A-Bear's life-sized, lovable mascot, Bearemy, to further celebrate the special day.
