Art of Childhood Tag

On Friday, August 15th, our team was proud to attend The Children’s Cabinet’s Art of Childhood event in support of their mission to keep children safe and families together.

We join in honoring Michael and Tammy Dermody and Dixie May for their remarkable dedication and leadership over the past four decades. Their enduring commitment to the mission of The Children’s Cabinet has made a lasting impact on countless lives in our community, and their work continues to inspire all of us.

As part of the celebration, United Construction built and donated an ice cream truck playhouse for the live auction. The playhouse raised $1,750, helping support the programs and services The Children’s Cabinet provides for children and families across the region.

A big thank you to everyone at United Construction who played a part in building and delivering this year’s playhouse: Chris Bennett, Leman Jones, Cortney Roman, Amanda Kneisel, Shelby Preston, Ryan Bollinger, Angie Dawson, Carrie Dyer, Audrey Mackey, Marshal Hoffman, and Eduardo Gochez. Your time, creativity, and craftsmanship brought something truly special to this event.

We’re honored to support The Children’s Cabinet and proud to be part of a community that comes together to make a difference.

Several of our Reno team members had a wonderful time celebrating The Children’s Cabinet at the Art of Childhood fundraising gala, which took place at The Club at Rancharrah on Friday, August 20. The Children’s Cabinet is heavily intertwined in our culture at United Construction, with Michael Dermody founding the nonprofit in the 1980s and Michael Russell sitting on the Board of Trustees for over a decade. We love to support such a vital organization for children and families in our community, and we were honored to be a Bronze Sponsor. The Children’s Cabinet was able to raise $517,000 at the event alone!
