On Tuesday, July 23rd, we donated more small sets and polybags to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Donation – St. Louis Children’s Hospital
Donations – Mercy Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Children, and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital
On Friday, July 19th, club members donated passels of small sets to Mercy Hospital St. Louis, Shriners Hospital for Children, and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Thanks to everyone who has donated to the club to help make this possible, and thanks as usual to the club members who purchased the items and helped make the deliveries.
Donation – Mercy Hospital
On Friday, February 2nd, a club member dropped off another round of donated items to Mercy Hospital St. Louis. We are still going it on our own, as FairyBricks continues to navigate the post-Brexit world of overseas shipping, so all of these 88 sets were procured thanks to some savvy bargain-hunting by club members. Thanks again to all who have donated or participated in our charitable efforts!
Donation – St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children
On Thursday, November 30th, two club members donated LEGO polybag sets that they purchased to St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children – St. Louis. Thanks, Michael and Alan!
Donation – Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital
On Wednesday, October 11th, various club members distributed donated LEGO sets to Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Due to financial issues related to Brexit, FairyBricks, our normal charity partner, is currently unable to ship sets outside of the UK. Rather than wait for these issues to get sorted out, the club elected to donate sets ourselves as well as using donated funds to purchase discounted sets to donate. Thanks to everyone who has donated towards these efforts.
Children’s Hospital Build Event
When we started our partnership with Fairy Bricks a few years ago we always intended to go into the hospitals and build with the recipients of the LEGO sets. Up until now, this hasn’t been an option due to COVID-19 protocols, but on August 11th, some club members finally had an opportunity to go in and do some building with some kids on Family Night at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. While we would love to share more photos of us building with the kids, for privacy reasons we were only given permission to post a couple of photos. By all accounts the experience was a positive one both for the families and the club members who took part.
Fairy Bricks Donation – Mercy Hospital, Shriners Hospital for Children & Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital
On Friday, July 8th, various club members distributed donated cartons to Mercy Hospital St. Louis, Shriners Hospital for Children – St. Louis, and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. Because hospitals see an increase in other donations as we get closer to the holiday season, this will most likely be our last set distribution until next year, although we are hoping to do an in-person build event with kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital in the near future. Thanks to everyone who has donated towards these efforts.

Additionally, the club collected small unopened sets from our own collections and donated them to Shriners Hospital for Children – St. Louis.
