Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Blog : Brickworkz presents at MDA Fundraiser Brickworkz presents at MDA FundraiserThe 3rd Annual Lego build-off in Danville, Virginia began as a fun and entertaining fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Founder Mindy Matherly started the fundraiser because her friend from summer camp returned one year in a wheelchair. His symptoms of Muscular Dystrohpy were more pronounced, and she became inquisitive about the disease and wanted to help. The Build-off started for the Danville community to bring Lego creations and present them for judging. As people visted each creation, they would put money into the jar next to a piece they liked. The kid with the most money in the jar won the category.  This year, different categories were set up and judges (including yours truly) scored each creation based on a pre-determined criteria. Dozens of vendors donated food and door prizes. The event also had a Lego tower building contest and a drag-racing contest for Lego cars that the kids made before arriving. I spoke briefly about Brickworkz and what we do, inspiring creativity and making children smile. They got to see more recent photos of Lego mosaics we have made at Brickworkz and ask questions. It was a great time once again, and I was happy to help with such a worthy cause. If you have a charity or non-profit that Brickworkz can help promote, please contact us.
