Build-A-Bear Workshop®, the brand where children make their very own stuffed toys, has raised AED 30,000 for Autism in partnership with charitable organisations in the local community. This GCC-wide initiative has seen Build-A-Bear Workshop® tie up with SENSES Center UAE and generated donations through the sales of its Champ Bear. “The Build-A-Bear Workshop® creed is to make a difference in all the communities in where we operate. Through the kindness of our Guests, and our partnerships with local charities, we always aim to operate as a socially responsible entity that engages with society and gives as well as receives,” said Paul Marks, Build-A-Bear Workshop General Manager. A percentage of proceeds from sales, and in particular Champ Bear, has been donated to Charitable Organisations involved with autism research, and care and intervention for those with autism throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan. “Autism is a very important issue that is as relevant in the GCC as it is worldwide, and we are delighted to be able to contribute towards fund raising and support through our partners and Guests. The holy month of Ramadan is a particularly fitting time for this drive as it encourages charity, reflection, kindness and community-mindedness,” he said. Dr.Lina of Senses Centre UAE expresses her gratitude to The Build-A-Bear Workshop®. “We sincerely appreciate the support and compassion from Build-A-Bear Workshop. It has been a profound experience to work with them and we hope to maintain this relationship in the future. A big thank you from our team!” said Dr. Lina. Build-A-Bear Workshop® is the world's only global company that offers an interactive make-your-own stuffed animal retail-entertainment experience. In fifteen years of operation, it has focused on creating unique and memorable experiences for children and adults alike, while also engaging with communities through charitable works and social initiatives.
