Wellington nonprofit Bricks Busting Boredom, run by 15-year-old Wellington High School sophomore Sarah Clein, had a busy summer collecting Lego bricks and throwing parties for children in local hospitals.
Bricks Busting Boredom collects new and used Lego bricks and Lego sets and donates them to children’s hospitals. On July 23, Clein threw a party for the children in the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital. She visited children throughout the hospital delivering and building new Lego sets.
On Aug. 1, Bricks Busting Boredom held its biggest party to date for the families in the Pediatric Oncology Support Group (POST). The children enjoyed building with Lego bricks, eating pizza and making new friends. Each child left the party with a new Lego set of their choice.
Bricks Busting Boredom is working to get Lego collection boxes in local schools to help more children in the community. To get a collection box in your school, call Sarah Clein at (954) 682-3816.
