Sakroots Raises Money for The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees Campaign

Earth Day is rapidly approaching (April 22) and over the next two weeks I’ll be sharing about companies who have committed to do their part to help preserve our environment.  In celebration of Earth Day, The Sak’s eco-extension, Sakroots is hosting a celebrity bag auction to benefit The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees campaign.  For each dollar that is contributed, one tree will be planted.  The auction will begin on April 8th and run through April 22nd (Earth Day).

Sakroots will auction off a the Pax Eco Weekender signed by Robin Wright Penn, Rosie Perez, Blair Underwood, Justine Bateman, Jessica Alba, Alec Baldwin, Sandra Oh, and Mena Suvari.  The Pax Eco Weekender is made of a jute/cotton blend canvas and 100% natural cotton handles.  It features The Sak’s signature peace print symbolizing the brands’ “happy & free” philosophy with artwork created by a Paris-born graffiti artist.  The auction is a great cause and the funds raised will help restore Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest.  Be sure to visit the site for more information on the event.

Holiday Giveaway: Build-A-Bear Workshop For Nintendo Wii

*This giveaway is now closed.  Thanks for stopping by!  The winner is Liz G.  Congratulations!  *

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We are in the South visiting family and wish all of you a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

By now you know that a Nintendo Wii is at the top of my Christmas list (hint hint, hubby!).  If that ever materializes, I’d love to get the new Build-A-Bear Workshop A Friend Fur All Seasons game, published by The Game Factory.  This interactive experience is sure to be a hit with the entire family.  WIth your Wii remote, players can name, groom, feed and dress their very own bear.  Once you’ve customized your bear, join him on adventures to explore islands, meet inhabitants, and help other furry friends.  Build-A-Bear Workshop A Friend Fur All Seasons allows full interaction between players and his/her furry friend in a variety of twenty fun mini-games like throwing Frisbees and ice-skating.

The Game Factory, an international publisher of family-friendly and casual video and computer games, will be auctioning off celebrity-built Build-A-Bear Workshop bears, along with autographed copies of the Build-A-Bear Workshop Wii game. These bears and signed games will be on eBay to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California. These one-of-a-kind bears were built by celebrities like Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott, the Jonas Brothers, James Gandolfini, Melissa Joan Hart, Bonnie Hunt, Mitchel Musso, Meaghan Jette Martin and more.  For more information, please visit the celebrity auction site.

Build-A-Bear-Workshop A Friend Fur All Seasons retails for $39.99 and is available for purchase now on Amazon and a local retailer near you.
