What's Going on in MY area??
Build-A-Bear Workshop’s 3rd annual JDRF Pin Pad Campaign will run November 1 – November 30, 2011 in more than 300 stores across the United States. Since 2003 Build-A-Bear Workshop has raised more than $575,000.00 for JDRF. We look forward to a successful FY12 campaign that coincides with National Diabetes Awareness Month. This would be a great Christmas idea for the kids in your family!
Through this year’s campaign, JDRF will have the opportunity to share information about type 1 diabetes with Tommy Hilfiger customers and also share what JDRF is doing to help advance the research to find better treatments and a cure. The campaign will also include a percentage of sales being contributed to JDRF from November 1, thru November 30, 2011. This will include sales at Tommy Hilfiger Retail locations, outlet locations and online sales. The Gulfport Mississippi outlet location will be participating!
