Solaire Resort Entertainment City, in partnership with GMG Productions, hosted children from the Gift of Life Program for a special day of activities at The Space at Solaire, home of the Brickman® Wonders of the World exhibit, which runs until 8 February.
The beneficiaries — many of whom have undergone life-saving heart surgeries — were given exclusive access to the LEGO®-brick exhibition, featuring large-scale recreations of iconic global landmarks created by Ryan “Brickman” McNaught and his team. The exhibit includes interactive build zones designed to encourage creativity and learning.
Organizers prepared a dedicated program for the children and their families, which included snacks prepared by Solaire’s culinary team and a visit from Santa Claus, who distributed goodie bags as Christmas gifts.
“We are honored to open our doors to these brave and inspiring young children,” said Jit Ng, vice president for brand and marketing of Solaire Resort Metro Manila Region. “Solaire is committed to creating meaningful experiences that bring joy to the community, and today’s event is a testament to the power of coming together to uplift others.”
Carlos Candal, chief executive officer of GMG Productions, said the exhibit was designed to inspire curiosity and imagination.
“At its heart, Brickman® Wonders of the World is about discovery, curiosity, and imagination. We’re proud to work alongside Solaire to open this experience to children who deserve moments like these — where creativity and learning come together through exploration and wonder,” Candal said.
The activity was held in partnership with Gift of Life International and the Rotary Club of Makati West Gift of Life Program, which supports Filipino children with congenital heart disease by facilitating access to critical medical care.
“This event is about giving these children a moment of wonder and happiness,” said Lemarc Limosnero, chairman of the Gift of Life Program and director of the Rotary Club of Makati West. “It’s our privilege to collaborate with Solaire Resort Entertainment City in creating a magical day they will remember.”
The organizers said the event aimed to celebrate the children’s resilience while providing a safe and joyful environment centered on creativity, discovery and community support.
