Build-A-Bear announced its 'Play It Forward' initiative, a national giveback effort launched on June 11, 2025, in recognition of the International Day of Play. For every make-your-own plush animal sold on this day, one furry friend will be donated to a child in need, up to 10,000 bears.
Donations made through the Build-A-Bear Foundation will specifically target children and classrooms in Title I schools, aiming to spread the joy of play. This initiative aligns with the global recognition of International Day of Play, which champions every child's right to play for learning and well-being.
In addition to the plush donations, the Build-A-Bear Foundation is partnering with First Book, a nonprofit, committing over $80,000 in funding. This funding will help educators access books focused on health and wellness, reinforcing the connection between play and learning for children in need.
