14 year old Nikki Giampolo loved life, loved children and loved Teddy Bears. Last year, Nikki lost her life to cancer and she wished that a bear be created to help raise awareness for children's cancer. Build-A-Bear Workshop® dedicates Nikki's Bear to Nikki Giampolo and to children with cancer and their families everywhere.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Nikki's Bear will be distributed through the Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation to fund children's cancer research and treatment programs.

The Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation and Nikki's Bear programs are driven by the inspiration and spirit of kids helping kids to send the message of courage and hope.
