AuPairCare of Northeast Ohio Partners with Build-A-Bear and Donates to Akron Children's Hospital
Northeast Ohio AuPairCare Area Director Heather Murray along with local au pairs from 8 different countries participate in Annual Share-A-Bear Campaign.
Northeast, OH, April 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- AuPairCare of Northeast Ohio, www.aupaircare.com, a leading au pair placement agency, teamed up with Build-A-Bear Workshop stores nationwide for their second annual Share-A-Bear campaign which invites au pairs to give back to their local communities by making a bear to be donated to a local children’s charity.
Last year, AuPairCare held over 100 events nationwide donating 1800 furry friends to over 100 local charities. Heidi Woehl, VP of AuPairCare, says “AuPairCare is present in many of the same areas as Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and their motto that “a bear hug is understood in any language” is very much in-line with the role an au pair can play in the life of a child and host family. We are very excited about our continued partnership and the opportunity for our au pairs who make a difference in the lives of the children they care for, to extend the spirit of international friendship through these bears to other children in their area.”
Northeast Ohio area au pairs recently held the Share-A-Bear party at the Westfield SouthPark Build-A-Bear Workshop in Strongsville. Led by AuPairCare Area Director, Heather Murray, au pairs from 8 different countries stuffed and accessorized teddy bears. These special international bears were then donated to the children of Akron Children’s Hospital’s Heart Center in Akron, Ohio.
