Canyon State Electric is collecting LEGO sets throughout November to benefit children suffering from illness.

CSE’s LEGO Drive is back for a third year, and sets collected are being given to Phoenix Children’s for their Holiday Toy Drive.

The drive runs through Friday, Dec. 8. To donate, purchase from the LEGO Drive Amazon wishlist, bring a LEGO set to Canyon State Electric’s office at 4640 E. McDowell Road, in Phoenix, or email legodrive@cseci.com to schedule a pickup.

The LEGO Drive began in 2021 after the passing of Canyon State Electric founder Steve Maderazzo who loved building with LEGO and created many structures, including a replica of the CSE office building, according to a press release. The Canyon State Electric team pays tribute to his legacy with generosity, donating LEGO sets to children in need of toys each December.

“I’m inspired every year by the way our CSE team and industry partners show overwhelming support and generosity,” CEO Stephanie Maderazzo-Hughes stated.

In 2022, the LEGO Drive collected nearly 140 sets. This year, the company hopes to raise more than 200. Sets of all sizes, prices, and age requirements are accepted. All toys collected will be donated to Phoenix Children’s Hospital and given to children receiving inpatient care.

“We are grateful to partners like Canyon State Electric who generously give to Phoenix Children’s,” Tim Harrison, Phoenix Children’s vice president of corporate partnerships and special events, stated. “LEGO sets don’t just lift a child’s spirits for a moment, but working on them can take their mind off of more difficult things, while igniting creativity and learning-through-play.”
