If you are unable to make it to the event you can purchase a stuffed animal at the Fairfield Commons Build-A-Bear any day before Dec. 23 and leave it with the store for the Hess Family — they ask that you leave a non-denominational card with your bear so patients and their families know where their gift came from.
Stuffed animals may also be purchased online on Build-A-Bear’s website, at checkout choose the pickup option and select The Mall at Fairfield Commons as your store.
