Make a Huggable Heroes Nomination to Champion Young People Doing Good

If any young people in your life have impressed you with their community service (or other good deeds) recently, you can do them a service in return: Nominate them for the Build-A-Bear Workshop’s Huggable Heroes program, which will enter them to win a $5,000 educational scholarship and $2,500 donated to the cause of their choice.

The Motherhood is currently supporting the Huggable Heroes program with a blog campaign and 30-minute Twitter party, which you can join this Thursday, May 29, at 3 p.m. ET. Visit the Twtvite to learn more and RSVP.

Since 2004, more than 12,000 kids have participated in the Huggable Heroes program, which has awarded more than $1 million and recognized more than 100 socially conscious young people. So fantastic!

This year, 10 more Huggable Heroes winners will be added to the ranks. Nominate a young leader (between the ages of 8 and 18) in your community or around the world before the entry deadline of June 12.

We hope to see you at the Twitter party later this week, and good luck to all of the nominees!
