Ohio Valley Associated Builders and Contractors Canstruction Now On Display

October 17, 2024 By Dayton937

​
Canstruction is a unique blend of philanthropy, teambuilding, and a challenge of your team’s creativity and ingenuity. Teams design and build a CanSculpture using only canned goods, competing for awards in categories like “Best Use of Labels” and “Structural Ingenuity.” Following the competition, 100% of the canned goods used are donated to The Foodbank of Greater Dayton. Put on by ​the Ohio Valley Associated Builders and Contractors each year, you can view the designs currently on display at the Dayton Mall.

Voting for the People’s Choice Award is OPEN! To vote, go to Facebook and LIKE the picture of your favorite sculpture. Final votes will be tallied at EOD on Wednesday, October 23.

On Wednesday, October 11th local companies constructed their CANstruction projects at The DaytonMall.  Nine local businesses representing various industries will gather to build structures depicting a variety of scenes and objects. All nine sculptures will remain in the Dayton Mall until October 18, at which time they will be de-constructed and used to serve community members experiencing food insecurity. The event will result in 26,000 canned goods being donated to the The Foodbank, Inc.
