Windy City LUG (WCL) looks forward to Creations for Charity season every year. Since 2022, we in WCL have developed a relationship with Advocate Children’s Hospital in the Chicagoland suburb of Park Ridge, IL. Warm, welcoming staff there always emphasize how beloved LEGO is by patients in need of comfort. Super Mario to Speed Champions, Friends to Fortnite, Creator to City, WCL members were happy to deliver.

Thank you to Dan, Melanie, and Kris for their help in the delivery, to our WCL buyers and deal hunters for taking the fundraising dollar further, and to Advocate Children’s Hospital Park Ridge for all they do for the children and teens in their care.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Wonderful to see a creative fundraiser using LEGO to bring joy to children while supporting communities across different places. The Chicago-area contribution is a great reminder that local groups can play an important part in wider charitable efforts. It made me think of https://www.attn2detail.info/ and how meaningful projects often grow from small acts of thoughtful participation and generosity.
