Everybody learns through play. Children of all ages can learn something new through the power of play," said executive director Danielle Rippleton with the museum. Rippleton said hundreds of children and families came out to the event. Together, they built more than 150 LEGO hearts. "For each heart that we build, we donate a set," said Jesus Ibanez, general manager of LEGO Manufacturing Virginia. Since 2017, the campaign has donated LEGO sets to more than 11 million children in need of play around the world.
