Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To create play and inspire imagination in sick children by delivering LEGO sets to themduring their hospital stays.

  • Play is a critical component in the recovery process for a child facing a life-threatening diagnosis. It is familiar and reassuring for a child, play enables one to express their feelings and worries, and it provides a sick child with the opportunity to make choices and feel a sense of control in an often choiceless environment. The Organization delivered 6,522 new LEGO sets to sick kids during 2024.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
