United Construction is thrilled to share the incredible evening we had at the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada’s annual Big Chefs Little Galas fundraising event, hosted at the Montreux Golf & Country Club! We are proud sponsors of this amazing event, where every dollar raised through this event directly supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada and their simple yet profound mission – to match at-risk youth with caring adult mentors who ignite, inspire, and empower their potential. Our hearts were filled with hope as we came together to help set all young people in northern Nevada on a path to graduate high school with a plan for their future and a mentor whose impact will undoubtedly last a lifetime.

Join us in celebrating The Children’s Cabinet’s 25th Annual Art of Childhood Fundraising Gala held at the stunning Rancharrah! All funds raised during the event support the organization’s mission to keep children safe and families together, and a special Fund-A-Need appeal directly supports The Children’s Cabinet’s free family counseling program. Throughout the night, guests indulged in delectable food and beverages while getting swept away by the excitement of incredible live and silent auction packages. A charming Barn-style playhouse, designed and built by United Construction, fetched $2,400 during the auction, with all proceeds benefiting The Children’s Cabinet. Did you know that annually, The Children’s Cabinet touches the lives of over 10,000 families in Nevada? From providing basic necessities and childcare resources to educational opportunities, work experience programs, crisis intervention, and family counseling – they are here to help children and families in our community every step of the way.

We loved seeing the kids smile and their eyes light up with excitement as they ran to play in their new English Cottage-style playhouse! Thank you to our UCC team for their hard work designing, building and delivering the playhouse yesterday to its new home, and a huge thank you to Shannon Keel from Grand Sierra Resort for winning the playhouse at the auction at the Children’s Cabinet Art of Childhood Gala and generously donating it to the Summit Church. Many kids will enjoy this for years to come!

United Construction had a lovely time supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada (BBBSNN) at one of their annual Big Chefs Little Galas last weekend. We were a proud sponsor of the event, which raised funds for BBBSNN’s mission: “To create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.” During the pandemic, caring for our community’s children at-risk is even more important, and every dollar raised at the gala is going to help BBBSNN “match at-risk youth with caring adult mentors to help ignite, inspire, and empower their potential.”

Cheers to children!

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!

Please enjoy these photos of the event, including a photo of our handcrafted rocket ship playhouse sitting on display for the live auction.

Yeehaw! United Construction had a blast at this year’s Reno Rodeo. Employees were all smiles in Grandstand 5 on Wednesday, June 23 – Wolf Pack Night. We were thankful for the opportunity to attend as a company, especially after the rodeo was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. What a great time we had!

United Construction is thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in and sponsor several Northern Nevada nonprofit and professional association golf tournaments this summer. With the pandemic cancelling nearly all events last year, our team is excited to “get back out there” as restrictions continue to lift.

 

So far, Team United has participated in two golf tournaments:

  • CREW NAIOP Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, June 11 at Lakeridge Golf Course
  • AGCPAC Golf Tournament on Friday, June 18 at Washoe Golf Course (United was also a sponsor)

 

Kelsie Hieber, Mark Davis, Nick Crawford and Brad Richter golfed for a cause at the NAIOP Golf Tournament, as the event benefitted both the commercial real estate industry and the Give Hope Foundation, which helps families in children in Nevada battling chronic disease and illness.

Mark Davis grabbed his clubs yet again for the AGC Golf Tournament, joined this time by Mike Clements, Mark Byars and Kerry Brock. Team United came in 3rd place at this popular industry tournament! We sponsor this event every year, and this year we sponsored Hole #7. Along with golfing, we also had great fun managing our booth and connecting with all of the teams that stopped by for some drinks, our branded sunscreens and koozies, and much-appreciated shade.

Looking forward to even more golf tournaments this summer to benefit wonderful organizations in our community!

Happy National Children’s Day! On this day, we are proud to celebrate The Children’s Cabinet, a Reno-based nonprofit that provides services that address the unmet needs of children and families in our community. The organization assists more than 11,000 families in Northern Nevada every year with a multitude of no-cost resources, ranging from child care and education to family counseling and crisis intervention.

Co-founded by Dermody Properties Board Chair Michael Dermody, we are honored that our very own CEO Michael Russell has served on the Board of Directors of The Children’s Cabinet for over a decade. As the Past Board Chairman, he strongly believes in the organization’s mission of keeping children safe and families together.

“National Children’s Day is all about honoring children and the importance they bring to our lives, and The Children’s Cabinet delivers critical support and assistance to children in need in our community every day of the year,” said Russell. “I am so proud to have had the opportunity to serve the organization for so many years.”

Additionally, employees at United Construction builds a playhouse and/or doghouse every year to be auctioned off at their Art of Childhood Fundraising Gala. See one of our handcrafted examples above.

We encourage all of our followers to support The Children’s Cabinet on National Children’s Day and beyond. How do you value the children in your life?
