Dayton Canstruction Invites you to Form a Team


The Associated Builders and Contractors Association is organizing Dayton Canstruction for an October 16 Build Day at the Dayton Mall.


Dayton Canstruction is an event at which local companies design and build sculptures created entirely out of canned/dry goods. After Build Day at the Dayton Mall, the sculptures are left up for the public to enjoy and vote on; they are then deconstructed with 100% of the items being donated to The Foodbank of Greater Dayton. Last year, there were nine teams whose sculptures combined for a donation of over 26,000 canned goods. 


General details:

• Open to all companies and organizations in the Dayton area

• Teams are usually 5-10 people. Time commitment relatively minimal

• No fees; only cost to teams is for their canned goods. Average spend $2000-4000
