CANstruction 2018 Team Registration Open

Saturday, April 28 - Sunday, April 29

New Venue!!!  Lenny Boy Brewing, 3000 South Tryon Street 

Team registration is open for CANstruction 2018! 

Each year, the Charlotte AEC community and affiliates join together for this charitable design/build event as teams assemble structures made from canned goods. The structures are then judged in various categories before being demolished and the cans donated to Second Harvest Food Bank. 

CANstruction will take place over one weekend at Lenny Boy Brewing. This will be a great community event.  Even if you don't have a team, come watch the build! 

Read the fine print on the registration page and direct any questions to Mike Gardina.

Last year, our teams donated a record 25,000 pounds of food. Can you beat that in 2018?!  (Pictured at right: CANtucky Derby  by Neighboring Concepts and Miles-McClellan)
