Hi! I’m Ben Glenn also known as the Chalkguy! I’m a speaker, artist, author and the creator of the Chalkguy LEGO Drive. We are heading into our 13th year and I hope you will join the 2024 Chalkguy LEGO Drive as we strive to “raise” as many sets possible!
We are enthusiastic about kicking off our efforts for this season and sincerely appreciate any support you can offer. If you have any questions or ideas, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email. Your contributions mean a lot to us!
Our website has been updated with a wealth of new resources to assist you in hosting a LEGO drive in your area. Additionally, you now have the option to donate directly on the site. We've even introduced a SHOP section featuring fantastic items. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey of raising LEGO!
Where do the LEGO sets go?
The Chalkguy Lego drive is a year long effort to collect as many Lego sets to hand out during the holiday season. Most of the sets are given away to children’s hospitals in the Indianapolis area, along with other local charitable organizations. However our reach is starting to go beyond Indiana as sets have been sent to other cities like, Houston, Boston, New Orleans, and Baltimore.
Why LEGO?
The LEGO drive was born 11 years as the result of a simple teachable moment with my 2 daughters. I wanted to teach them the joy and blessing of giving. Along with teaching them the value of giving I also taught them the importance of giving their best. That is why we only give LEGO… Because LEGO is the best!
It is our goal that every child who receives one of our LEGO sets knows that they are valued and loved, that’s why on every LEGO set we hand out there is sticker that says, “LEGO is the best and we want you to know you are worth the best.”
