A valley boy is being nationally recognized. Build-A-Bear Workshop has recognized Parker Fritsch as a finalist in the Huggable Heroes program, which recognizes young people for making positive contributions to their communities. Before he was three years old, Parker was diagnosed with leukemia, which he beat. For the past five years, he's been instrumental in organizing the Parker's Pals Blood Drive and Bone Marrow Registry. KSEE Sunrise reporter Pamela Prado spends the morning at Build-A-Bear Workshop to talk with Parker and show how Build-A-Bear works.

Build-A-Bear Workshops are located at Fashion Fair Mall and Visalia Mall. For more information, click on the link below:
