Inaugural Hug AmBEARsador™ Jason Mraz Helps Build-A-Bear® Spread Hugs, Heart and Happiness
In the spirit of National Hug Day and the brand's mission to 'add a little more heart to life,' Build-A-Bear is introducing its first-ever Hug AmBEARsador, award-winning singer-songwriter, social activist and philanthropist Jason Mraz.

"For more than 21 years, Build-A-Bear has been sharing heart and bear hugs with Guests globally, so National Hug Day is a perfect occasion to celebrate the difference that our brand makes in the world," said Sharon Price John, president and CEO, Build-A-Bear Workshop. "I am pleased to have Jason Mraz join our cause as the perfect inaugural Hug AmBEARsador for Build-A-Bear. He has touched countless lives with his music, and his drive to be a force of good aligns with our mission to add a little more heart to life. We look forward to making a positive impact together one bear hug at a time."

On Friday, Jan. 18, an exclusive Jason Mraz Bear, featuring the special National Hug Day heart design and Mraz's signature embroidered on the paw pad, will launch in U.S., U.K. and Canada Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and online. The bear will be available as part of a bundle with an exclusive album "Hugs, Hearts & Happiness™," produced in partnership with Go Dog Go! Creative, and featuring talented young artists Build-A-Bear Kids™ singing Jason Mraz hits. Fans will also be able to purchase the album separately.

Additionally, in honor of National Hug Day and Mraz's role as the Hug AmBEARsador, Build-A-Bear is donating $10,000 to the Jason Mraz Foundation, which seeks to uplift humanity through arts education and the advancement of equality. Build-A-Bear is also donating up to 1,000 furry friends to the award-winning artist's foundation to be distributed to children in need and help make their days a little bit brighter.

"Connecting with people by spreading love through my music, and sharing songs that speak to them in whatever they may be going through, has always been important to me," said Mraz. "Together with Build-A-Bear, as a Hug AmBEARsador, we are spreading a universal message to share more love and hugs with everyone—on National Hug Day and every day."

The GIFs are also available to share or download directly from buildabear.com/NationalHugDay. Build-A-Bear will continue to add new bear hug GIFs to its collection throughout the year!
