ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Build-A-Bear
Workshop announced today that it will be hosting a livestreaming
event to connect people around the world in celebration of National
Teddy Bear Day and the power of teddy bear hugs. From
neighborhood teddy bear hunts to hugs sent to a loved one, teddy
bears have played an important role in keeping people connected
this year.
"2020 has been an unusual year and we know that many people have
been separated from loved ones. Teddy bears have a unique
ability to communicate happiness, celebration, and love and are the
perfect way to share a hug with someone from afar." said President
and CEO, Sharon Price John. "This
National Teddy Bear Day, we're not able to come together as we have
in the past but can celebrate teddy bear hugs and connect with
people around the world via our livestreaming event."

September 9, join Build-A-Bear on
Facebook or YouTube for a morning of fun and
