Take the NACoA Challenge—Walk on LEGOs this Month to Support 19 Million Kids

Join NACoA in Brick by Brick: Building Hope—a campaign to raise awareness and support for children impacted by parental substance use. We invite you and/or your team to step up for a powerful cause that affects millions of children and families across the country. Currently over 19 million children are affected by one parent with a substance use disorder. Together, we can show kids and teens that we see them and we hear them, and let them know they are not alone!

Whether Individually or in a Group – take part in the fun starting July 20th!

Stomp Out Addiction
Step Up for a Cause Walk on LEGO bricks (wearing your shoes!) to take action and stomp out the pain kids and teens experience when affected by addiction in their families!
Don’t Have LEGOs? Spell out the word Addiction in a creative way and literally STOMP IT OUT! The louder, the messier, the funnier, the better!
Support the Cause Pledge a donation, either per brick stepped on or for completing the challenge
Share the Pain, Spread the Word: Post your video or photo on social media using hashtags: #StompOutAddiction #BuildingHope #LEGOChallenge #BrickNation and tag @NACoA
Inspire Action Challenge 3 friends to take the stomp in the next 24 hours, and keep the movement going!

Building Hope
Host a Challenge Invite others to participate in fun symbolic actions like walking a mile, climbing stairs, stomping on LEGOs (yes—safely in shoes!), or building a visual wall of bricks in the office.
Set a Team Goal Encourage others to donate or fundraise—e.g., 50 bricks at $25 each in honor of 50 children supported. Or, choose a flat donation goal that reflects your commitment to building hope.
Remember there is no donation too small, everything contributes meaningful support to the children!
Share Stories & Inspire Allow team members to share why they care—whether they’re honoring a loved one in recovery or simply standing in solidarity.
Go Social Share your efforts on LinkedIn, Instagram, or other platforms and tag @NACoA. Use hashtags like #StompOutAddiction #BuildingHope #LEGO #LEGOChallenge #BrickNation #NACoA
Challenge Others in the Community Make it a friendly competition across companies, organizations, school teams, neighborhoods, etc.
