In a heartwarming ceremony, children from Danish Julemærkehjem (Christmas Seal Homes) lit the Christmas lights in LEGOLAND®, marking the commencement of the holiday season in this popular amusement park. This event is part of an ongoing collaboration between LEGOLAND® and the Julemærkefond (Christmas Seal Foundation), dedicated to the welfare of children facing challenges such as bullying, loneliness, and discomfort.
Creative Power: The Creation of the LEGO® Mosaics
A major highlight of the event was the unveiling of five enormous LEGO® mosaics, depicting this year's Christmas seal motif. These artworks, made up of a total of 125,240 small LEGO bricks, were crafted by children in the Julemærkehjem in collaboration with LEGOLAND®. The mosaics are set to be auctioned off until December 7, with proceeds going directly to the Julemærkehjem. This initiative underscores LEGOLAND®’s commitment to social responsibility and simultaneously offers a platform for the children's creative self-expression.
A Symbol of Hope: The Christmas Light in LEGOLAND®
The lighting of the Christmas lights by children from the Julemærkehjem was not just a visually stunning moment but also a potent symbol of hope and community. Christian Woller, the director of LEGOLAND®, expressed his joy: "This event is a sign of our connection with the Julemærkehjem and our support for the children living there. We are proud to be part of this important initiative."
The Significance of the Partnership between LEGOLAND® and Julemærkefond
The collaboration between LEGOLAND® and the Julemærkefond is a critical step in supporting children in challenging circumstances. Søren Ravn Jensen, the director of the Julemærkefond, emphasized the importance of this partnership: "Our collaboration with LEGOLAND® allows us not only to bring joy to the children in our homes but also to raise funds that are essential for their care and support."
An Auction for a Good Cause
The upcoming auction of the LEGO® mosaics offers a unique opportunity for the public to participate in this charitable initiative. By bidding on a mosaic, participants can directly contribute to the support of children in the Julemærkehjem. This auction is not just a chance to acquire unique artworks but also an act of solidarity with children in need of support.
Conclusion: A Shining Example of Social Engagement
The event in LEGOLAND® and the forthcoming auction of the LEGO® mosaics are impressive examples of how businesses can positively impact society through creative and social initiatives. The partnership between LEGOLAND® and the Julemærkefond highlights the significance of collaborations between the private sector and non-profit organizations. It is a reminder that the holiday season is an opportunity not just to celebrate but also to help others.
As the festive season approaches, this action serves as inspiration for everyone to reflect on the true values of the holiday season: community, generosity, and the pursuit of making a positive change in the world. The children from the Julemærkehjem and the community of LEGOLAND® shine as examples of hope and unity during this special time of the year.
