Make A “Build-a-Bear” for Children at the Ronald McDonald House in NYC for Valentine’s Day!

Bears will be distributed to the children

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2013

GOYA  Project  Details:  

1. Each   parish   within   the   Direct   Archdiocesan   District   will   choose   a   day   for  their   GOYA   to   go   to   a   Build-­‐a-­‐Bear   store   location   near   them   to   make   the  bears  for  the  children  at  the  Ronald  McDonald  House.    (A  list  of  all  locations  is   attached.)     This   needs   to   be   completed   before   February   9,   2013.   GOYA  advisors  can  call  877-­‐789-­‐2327  to  schedule  a  “Party”  for  a  service  project  for  teens   at   their   location.   This   way,   the   Build-­‐a-­‐Bear   will   give   you   a   10%  discount   off   your   purchases   because   it   is   a   service   project.     Please   let   the  person  know  that  the  “Service  Project  Party”  is  for  teenagers.  

2. At   the   Build-­‐a-­‐Bear   store,   the   advisor(s)   can   split   the   GOYANS   into   groups  depending  on  how  many  bears  need  to  be  made.    (i.e.  If  we  need  10  bears  and  have  30  GOYANS)  

3. Each   group   will   make   their   bear   in   accordance   with   the   guidelines   of   the  service  project.  (Guidelines  attached)  PLEASE  FOLLOW  ALL  THE  PROJECT  GUIDELINES  

4. After  each  group  has  completed  their  bear,  the  advisor(s)  will  take  a  picture  of  the  group  with  the  bear  they  made.    The  group  will  also  make  a  card.      The  card,   the   Build-­‐a-­‐Bear   birth   certificate   (please   keep   blank,   you  will   fill   this  out  at  RMH!),  and  picture  of  the  group  will  be  included  in  the  bear  gift  to  the  child.    

On   Saturday,   February   9th   each   participating   GOYA   will   send   one   or   two  representatives  to  meet  at  the  Ronald  McDonald  House  at  12:15pm  to  hand-­‐deliver  the  bears  that  the  groups  made.    Due  to  the  restrictions  the  Ronald  McDonald  House  has,  we  cannot  have  more  than  1-­‐2  representatives  per  parish.  Thanks  to  all  of  you  and  most  importantly,  HAVE  FUN!!!  

If  you  have  any  questions,  please  call  Vincent  at  212.774.0267  or  email  him  at  districtyouth@goarch.org
