Thursday - November 5 - Build-A-Bear. Support-A-Soldier.
It's your chance to show you care, so we're inviting military families to build a bear. Join our local military families and their kids — build a bear, build a friend, we'll be sending these off to those who defend! It's our way of thanking our local families for their sacrifices and to support our soldiers.
**Time & Place will be sent to volunteers. Volunteer Sign-ups will be announced closer to the event date. This event does not require a large "audience" as students will serve as volunteers to help military families Build-A-Bear. For more information email rc35@evansville.edu.
