United Construction brings a little lodge with big impact.

We were proud to support The Art of Childhood and its mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community last weekend by donating a one-of-a-kind lodge playhouse to this special event and cause.

Mark Davis brought the project to life, building the playhouse from a design by Stephen Stumpf. Angie, Amanda and Courtney added the finishing touches, transforming the playhouse with their creativity and fun additions to the playhouse lodge.

The finished playhouse was auctioned at the event and raised an incredible $8,500! Michael Russell also made an additional $5,000 donation to support The Childrens Cabinet. Together, that represents $13,500 raised in support of a great cause.

We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the project possible and to the generous bidder who helped turn a little playhouse into a big contribution to the community.

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

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.

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!
