JDRF and Build-A-Bear Workshops -- A Furry and Fabulous Partnership

JDRF and Build-A-Bear Workshops®

A Winning Partnership

Celebrating November - Diabetes Awareness Month - and the renewed partnership between JDRF and Build-A-Bear ® Workshop are Marie Davis, Executive Director JDRF Greater Missouri and Southern Illinois Chapter and Matt Oldani, Manager, Bear Foundations.  Marie is proudly holding the Proclamation issued to JDRF by County Executive Charlie A. Dooley.

Since 2003 Build-A Bear Workshop has raised more than $730,000 for JDRF during November.

“With corporate partners like Build-A-Bear Workshop, JDRF continues to be the largest global charitable supporter of T1D (type 1 diabetes) research.  Just here in Missouri, diabetes affects 10.2% of the adult population.  JDRF is committed to improving the lives of people with diabetes while we search for a cure,” said Marie Davis.   jdrf.org
