THE LEGO BUILD THEM UP AWARD

In memory of the life of Laura Warcaba

The LEGO BUILD THEM UP AWARD was inspired by the life and struggles of Laura Warcaba, who lost her life May 2019. There is no debate… Life is hard.. Nothing hit harder than life and when life knocks you down it is really hard to get back up. It’s this reality that is at the root of the LEGO drive. It is our hope that everyone who gets one of our LEGO feels encouraged and lifted up. That is why we put a sticker on all the boxes that says, “LEGO is the best and we want you to know you are worth the best!” When a child is battling a sickness or mom and dad don’t have the money for Christmas gifts, we want to open up a new LEGO hand have that message be the first thing they see… Because life is tough.

For years it has been my job to motivate and inspire audiences all around the world who are trying to battle the challenges of life. I have heard hundreds of stories of struggles, pain, hardship, worry, and anxiety which have lead me to one truth… we could all use a little more encouragement. In the midst of a struggle there is nothing better than having someone come along side you and ask how to help, or give a word of encouragement… or demonstrate a random act of kindness. That the purpose of the LEGO BUILD THEM UP AWARD.

We all have people in our life who are struggling with something… Addiction, depression, death, job, relationship, money, school, family, sickness, weight, self-esteem… and the list goes on. If you feel they would be encouraged by the LEGO BUILD THEM UP AWARD submit their story for consideration.

This being a new part of the Chalkguy LEGO Drive, I am certain we will choose at least one recipient each year, but that number may grow. The recipients will receive a new LEGO and a personalized video encouraging them to KEEP MOVING FORWARD! You will also be notified so you can help build upon this act of encouragement.
