Product Description
Build a bear 100th anniversary Throughout 2002 Build-A-Bear celebrated the Teddy Bear Centennial, the one hundredth anniversary of the creation of the teddy bear. The toy derived from a hunting trip taken by U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, when he chose not to kill a bear cub. A Washington Post cartoonist immortalized the act, then a toy maker commemorated it with the creation of the first teddy bear. Centennial events included the Bearriffic Bear Story writing contest. Winners received a family trip to New York City for Thanksgiving, where Build-A-Bear debuted a float at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Build-A-Bear coordinated centennial celebrations with new store openings. Children's parades, fashion shows, and charity events became regular features. Events culminated with the company's 100th store opening in Roosevelt Field, New York on September 19. Highlights of the Teddy Bear Centennial Charity Gala included live music, a Furry Fashions Show, and an auction of collectible teddy bears to benefit the Simon Youth Foundation. The next day a children's parade, led by company mascot Bearemy, took celebrants to the new store where Build-A-Bear held a birthday party.
