Do you know young leaders in your school between the ages of eight and 18 making a difference in the community or the world? Here's a unique scholarship opportunity that's based on good deeds vs. good grades! It opens new doors for kids who might not have a chance to get an academic scholarship.

Now through February 26, Build-A-Bear Workshop^® is accepting entries for its seventh annual Huggable Heroes^® program, which recognizes everyday young people who go to extraordinary lengths to make life better for others. From helping children in underdeveloped countries to supporting cancer and diabetes research, organizing toy drives and sending care packages to our troops overseas, young people are volunteering and making significant contributions.

Ten Huggable Heroes from the United States and Canada will be selected and each will be awarded with a $7,500 educational scholarship and $2,500 in the form of a donation to the 501 (c)(3) charity of his/her choice, as well as a celebration trip to St. Louis in July. Entry forms are available at all Build-A-Bear Workshop stores in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, and online entries are being accepted at buildabear.com/huggableheroes. 

Young people truly are our future leaders and we hope you will encourage your staff to distribute information to potential Huggable Hero candidates in your school. Students can nominate themselves or each other as well.
