Building Healthy Kids
Bringing Joy to Bozeman
Bringing Joy to Bozeman
Our design-build community is coming together through Building Healthy Kids 406 to bring joy and smiles to children and families throughout Gallatin County. Each toy donated is a symbol of kindness, hope, and happiness, and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference for a local child.
In collaboration with Thrive, a nonprofit deeply committed to empowering children and families, we are excited to unite our community and make an even greater impact, one toy, one smile, one child at a time.

Building Healthy Kids 406
As we kick off the fourth annual Building Healthy Kids Toy Drive, we’re excited to once again bring Bozeman’s AEC community together to support children and families throughout the Gallatin Valley through Thrive.
Last year, our local Architecture, Engineering, and Construction community showed just how much we can accomplish together. Fifteen firms joined the effort, donating 18 fully packed boxes of toys and more than $3,000 to help bring joy, creativity, and meaningful play to local children.
As we look ahead to another incredible year, we want to once again recognize and thank the companies and community partners who made last year’s drive possible:
Allied Engineering • Allied Concrete • Coffman Engineers • DCI Engineers • Distinctive Lighting • Gallatin Realty Group • Hullabaloo Toys + Novelty Gifts • IMEG Corp. • Kristy Paine • Martel Construction • Morrison Maierle • RJA Engineering • The Great Rocky Mountain Toy Company • Simkins Lumber • Tamarack Grove Engineering • ThinkOne Architects
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and continued support of our community. When we build together, we build stronger—not only through the work we do, but through the difference we can make for local families.
We can’t wait to see what we accomplish together during the 2026 Building Healthy Kids Toy Drive!

“Thrive is excited to partner with Architects Alaska for the Building Healthy Kids 406 initiative! Our families benefit greatly from partnerships like the toy drive, and we love knowing that the toys they receive are thoughtfully curated to be engaging, educational, and interactive. Children learn essential motor, cognitive, and creative skills through playing with building-themed toys. Families feel supported knowing that their community is coming together to provide their children an opportunity for learning and play. Thank you to Architects Alaska for generously organizing this toy drive and all the businesses who helped make it happen. These toys will spark joy and imagination for so many of our community’s children!”

“Seeing the heartwarming success of the Building Healthy Kids toy drive in Anchorage has been nothing short of inspiring. In Bozeman, with “Building Healthy Kids 406,” we’re deeply committed to emulating that spirit and expanding our reach. Partnering with THRIVE is a testament to our dedication. Our goal? To bring more joy more smiles, and to have an indelible impact on the children and families of our community. The toys from this drive do more than entertain; they equip Gallatin Valley’s children, laying the foundation for their future. We’re here to nurture the aspirations of our upcoming artists, engineers, architects, and builders, one toy at a time.”
