Syracuse, NY, January 26, 2009 AuPairCare agency is teaming up with Build-A-Bear Workshops stores across the nation to hold their Share-A-Bear campaign for au pairs. The Share-A-Bear campaign invites au pairs to give back to their local communities by making a bear and donating it to a local charity.
In the ithacajournal.com article, AuPairCare vice president Heidi Woehl says this is the first time the agency has launched a nationwide charity campaign. "AuPairCare is present in many of the same areas as Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and their mission of creating a place where 'best friends meet' 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 this partnership and the opportunity for our au pairs who make a different in the lives of the children they care for and to extend the spirit of international friendship through these bears to other children in their area."
Syracuse area au pairs will hold their charity event on Feb. 7 at Carousel Center's Build-A-Bear Workshop. The au pairs are also creating individual cards, in their own language, wishing the children who will receive the bears good wishes.
These "international bears" will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh, PA.
We applaud AuPairCare's charity campaign and what a fun way to donate something special to needy children! AuPairCare has successfully placed over 30,000 au pairs across the U.S. from over 40 countries.
We rated them as our #2 au pair industry leader for 2009 - see full article under Let's Talk Au Pair Agencies "Top Ten Au Pair Industry Leaders" at wwwaupairclearinghouse.com.
Nice job AuPairCare!
