Build for Joe: A LEGO Fundraiser & Hangout
Our dear friend (and Annapolis Pride Board Chair) Joe Toolan needs our help. Due to a fire in a neighboring unit, his apartment was flooded, forcing him to relocate and replace many of his belongings. While insurance helps a little, it doesn’t cover it all.
Let’s come together to support Joe the best way we know how: by building community (and LEGOs)! 🎉
🧱 What’s Happening:

Everyone gets a mini LEGO kit to build or take home
Help build one of Joe’s epic larger LEGO sets
Eat, laugh, connect, and lift up a friend who needs us

📍 All are welcome! Bring your good vibes, helping hands, and your inner child. Food & drinks provided by Bread and Butter Kitchen, of course.
Every bit helps. Every brick builds hope. (Wait, is that too cheesy? It’s okay – we’re going with it!)

Tickets are available by donation and can be purchased here.
