SOUTH FLORIDA, March 15, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- 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 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."
South Florida au pairs held their party on March 14 at Sawgrass Mills Mall Build-A-Bear Workshop. Led by AuPairCare Area Director, Theresa Friedrich, over one dozen au pairs from 6 different countries stuffed and named teddy bears while also creating individual cards wishing the recipient of their bear good wishes in their own language. These special international bears will then be donated to the children of JAFCO - Sunrise, FL.
