Request a Team JOEY LEGO Set
Do you know someone battling cancer who would love the gift of a LEGO set from Team JOEY?
Bring joy to young cancer patients
Individual and corporate gifts make it possible for LEGO bricks to bring a smile to a child’s face even when they are fighting cancer. Our volunteers have seen firsthand how LEGO sets can help pediatric cancer patients simply be kids — to let their imaginations, playfulness and curiosity shine and to possibly distract them, even for just a while, from the reality of their situation.
LEGO sets were distributed in 2025
MONETARY GIFTS TO TEAM JOEY HAVE FUNDED OVER 60 IN-HOSPITAL PARTIES SINCE 2012
Host a Team JOEY LEGO Drive
The Heroes Foundation Team JOEY program provides LEGO sets to pediatric cancer patients throughout Indiana and Cincinnati. Team JOEY has partnered with the following hospitals to bring joy to their young patients:
• Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital (Indianapolis)
• Riley Children’s Health (Indianapolis)
• Lutheran Children’s Hospital (Fort Wayne)
The Heroes Foundation invites corporations, organizations and individuals interested in participating in a LEGO drive to serve as a collection spot for LEGO sets and/or take up monetary donations to go toward the purchase of LEGO sets. We can work with your HR, communications or other personnel to offer up ways your drive can move forward.
HELP FUND IMPORTANT PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH AND CARE
Our goal is bold: to bring together Indiana’s pediatric oncology community — clinicians, scientists, nonprofits, government agencies, and survivors — to develop a unified plan for accelerating the development and delivery of precision medicine therapies for children diagnosed with cancer.
