This event took place from February 6, 2024 to February 24, 2024.
Join us in a unique and uplifting initiative aimed at supporting the Stand with Ukraine scholarship at Thompson Rivers University. In this project, we invite the community to come together and contribute to building a brighter future through the power of LEGO.
This community engagement initiative rallies LEGO enthusiasts of all ages to support rebuilding efforts in Ukraine through the power of creation. We are seeking donated unfinished LEGO sets, used bricks, and mini figures that will be used by builders of all skill levels to finish unfinished projects. These creations will be auctioned off to fund scholarships for students at Thompson Rivers University who stand with Ukraine.
What We Do:
Finish Unfinished LEGO Projects:
Have a half-built LEGO creation gathering dust? Bring it to life! We’re on a mission to complete unfinished LEGO projects, turning forgotten pieces into masterpieces.
Create Inspiring LEGO Art:
Unleash your creativity! Participants are encouraged to create original LEGO art pieces, expressing solidarity with Ukraine. Every build tells a story of empowerment, unity, and overcoming challenges.
Silent Auction for a Cause:
The culmination of our efforts will be a silent auction featuring the completed LEGO projects and stunning art pieces. Bid on these unique creations, knowing that every dollar raised goes towards the Stand with Ukraine scholarship at Thompson Rivers University.
Why Participate:
Empower Through Creativity: LEGO is more than just a toy; it’s a symbol of empowerment. By finishing projects and creating art, we empower ourselves and support education for those who need it most.
Give Back to Ukraine: Your contributions will directly fund the Stand with Ukraine scholarship, providing educational opportunities to students who stand with Ukraine at Thompson Rivers University.
Overcome Together: In the face of global challenges, we stand united. Let’s overcome obstacles through creativity, generosity, and collective action.
By finishing abandoned projects and upcycling donated LEGOs into art, we spotlight the ingenuity and hope coming out of devastation. Our message to creative problem solvers around the world is – let’s embrace giving opportunities to support these students and Ukraine’s future, brick by brick.
