Celebrating a Decade of Giving
Building Healthy Kids 2026
Building Healthy Kids 2026
For eleven remarkable years, the design-build community has united through Building Healthy Kids to bring hope and joy to children. From hands-on building sets to creative learning toys, each donation is thoughtfully chosen to inspire imagination, curiosity, and the joy of creating. What started as a small gesture of kindness has become a meaningful tradition—one that reflects the heart of our industry and the belief that building confidence and creativity in children is just as important as building spaces. Together, we continue to deliver comfort, healing, and smiles to the children and families at Providence Alaska Children's Hospital.

one toy, one smile, one child at a time
We’re thrilled to kick off the 11th Annual Building Healthy Kids Toy Drive at Architects Alaska, in proud partnership with Providence Alaska Children’s Hospital!
Our mission? To inspire and uplift young minds by gifting building-themed toys to children undergoing care at Providence. These thoughtfully chosen toys not only bring joy, but also support each child’s recovery, creativity, and developmental growth during their medical journey. As we celebrate a decade of giving, let’s come together once again to build a brighter, healthier future—one toy, one smile, one child at a time.
As we celebrate this 11th Annual Building Healthy Kids Toy Drive, we’re setting our sights higher than ever before inviting more partners, collecting more toys, and making an even greater impact. Join us in honoring a decade of compassion and help us make 2026 our biggest year yet. Together, we can continue to build healthier, brighter futures filled with smiles and love.

“The primary goal of the Building Healthy Kids Toy Drive is to bring joy and comfort to children who are undergoing treatment at the Hospital. New toys can provide a much-needed distraction and help the children feel more at home during their stay. Seeing the child’s face light up with happiness as they receive the toy also brings the Providence Caregivers a great moment of joy in their hectic and sometimes stressful day. We feel extremely grateful to have an opportunity to facilitate the event and make this positive impact on Providence Alaska Children’s Hospital.”
