We had a fantastic time at the 7th annual Northern Nevada Construction Career Day, hosted by the Nevada Chapter AGC! Held on October 3rd at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, this event brought together more than 1,600 middle and high school students from Northern Nevada. Through hands-on activities, interactive exhibits, and insights into education, training, and apprenticeship opportunities, students got an exciting glimpse into the possibilities of a construction career. We’re proud to support the next generation of builders and leaders in our industry!

We had an incredible evening at one of our favorite annual events, The Children’s Cabinet Art of Childhood! The night was filled with delicious food, great company, and the excitement of both silent and live auctions. Our team was thrilled to see the Grocery Market playhouse, crafted by United Construction, raise an impressive $4,250 at the auction!

 

This event holds a special place in our hearts, as it directly supports The Children’s Cabinet’s vital mission of keeping children safe and families together. The generosity of everyone involved helped raise a total of $947,500, making a significant impact on the lives of those in our community.

 

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and made this evening a huge success! Your support truly makes a difference. We also want to express our sincere gratitude to the United Construction team members who helped with the playhouse, including Chris Bennett, Leman Jones, Amanda Kneisel, Shelby Cox, Ariel Mooney, Jeremiah Bergara, Mark Duran, Mark Davis, Van Amsden, Marshal Hoffman, and Gladiss Hernandez. Your efforts are deeply appreciated!
