Our story

It started in the LEGO aisle at Target.

In 2011, Ben Glenn, the Chalkguy, took his daughters Christmas shopping and let each of them pick a set they really wanted. Then he told them they were going to wrap it and give it away. There were tears. Then something clicked.

“Giving means giving something you love.”

That year they gave away 2 sets. The next year, about 50. Today it’s thousands.
