LEGO's 'Build to Give' Supports Kids in Hospitals

— November 20, 2017 — Life-Stages
For the holiday season this year, LEGO launched its #BuildToGive campaign to support thousands of children who will be spending their Christmas in the hospital.

To participate, LEGO fans are being asked to build a decoration using the building block bricks and share it with #BuildToGive. For each ornament built, LEGO will send a set to a child at a pediatric hospital. When it comes to creating a festive decoration for the holiday season, there are no rules—as LEGO puts it, "just let your Christmassy imaginations run wild."

As part of its #BuildToGive campaign, LEGO is also hosting a series of live building events with Duncan Titmarsh, the UK’s only LEGO Certified Professional, who will offer hints, tips and inspiration.
