Tempe, AZ, November 2 – Canyon State Electric (CSE) is collecting LEGO sets throughout November and December to benefit children suffering from illness. CSE’s LEGO Drive is returning for a sixth year, and sets collected in 2026 will benefit Phoenix Children’s for their Holiday Toy Drive.
The LEGO Drive began in 2021 after the passing of Canyon State Electric founder Steve Maderazzo. He famously loved building with LEGO and created many structures, including a replica of the CSE office building. The Canyon State Electric team pays tribute to his legacy with generosity, donating LEGO sets to children in need of toys each December.
“The LEGO Drive lets us honor our past while giving children hope for the future,” said CEO Stephanie Maderazzo-Hughes. “I’m inspired every year by the way our CSE team and industry partners show overwhelming support and generosity.”
In 2025, the LEGO Drive collected 625 sets, a record for the drive and well above its 400-set goal. This year, the company hopes to raise over 1,000 sets. Sets of all sizes, prices, and age requirements are accepted. All toys collected will be donated to Phoenix Children’s and given to children receiving inpatient care.
“We are grateful to partners like Canyon State Electric who generously give to Phoenix Children’s,” said Tim Harrison, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and Special Events. “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.”
This year, the LEGO Drive has more than 20 drop-off locations throughout the Valley. Partners hosting LEGO drop-off bins include APEX Electrical Sales, Bricks & Minifigs Tempe, CWI Insurance, DAS Technology, Elliott Electric Supply (five locations), Fleming West, Gray Construction, Hicks Lightning Protection, International School of Arizona, RC Lurie, and Whiz Kidz Preschool (six locations).
The LEGO Drive runs from November 2 through December 15. To donate:
