Five one-of-a-kind collectibles drop for bidders on November 15

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2022 Sweet announced today that its latest collaboration with Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE: BBW), will drop five new, one-of-one digital collectible NFTs for auction. As in the October collectible event, each of the five non-fungible tokens are unique, ownable and transferrable digital items for collectibles featuring Silver Gala-themed bears. The NFTs will live digitally in the owner’s Sweet wallet. The winner of each NFT will receive a one-of-one real plush inspired by the digital bear and accompanying utlities.* Powered by Sweet, each NFT will be minted on the carbon-neutral Polygon blockchain.
The auction will be live for bids on the five distinct Silver Gala Bear NFTs from November 15 at 12:00 PM ET and will run through November 17 at 7:00 PM ET, and 10% of the sale price (in USD) will benefit Build-A-Bear Foundation, the philanthropic entity for Build-A-Bear Workshop.** Since its founding in 2004, Build-A-Bear Foundation has contributed more than $22 million and 1.5 million furry friends to charitable organizations around the world.
In addition to the real-life collectible, auction winners will receive a brick in their name on the Build-A-Bear Foundation’s Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri, a private party at a Build-A-Bear Workshop location for five people, and a virtual sneak peek at Build-A-Bear’s Spring fashion line.*****
“With the launch of our first digital collectible last month, we have had the opportunity to connect our brand with our consumers in a new way, and we are excited to have a second offering that continues to blend our beloved physical bears with equally adorable bears in a digital space,” said Jenn Kretchmar, Chief Digital and Merchandising Officer. “We want to provide opportunities to expand our collectability options to our guests, and our presence in Web3 provides an entirely new experience for our brand.”
“We are honored to be a part of Build-A-Bear’s latest collectible drop. On the heels of the last NFT’s record sale, we look forward to seeing who jumps into the bidding to help celebrate this groundbreaking collection,” said Tom Mizzone, CEO of Sweet.
