Until Next Year

We are all very proud of all that we have accomplished and our amazing donation of 8000 cans. As we close up this chapter, we wanted to share some final images of our CANstruction of SFMOMA. A special thank you to Ronald Thai Photography for generously donating his photography services to us! This has been such an incredible experience working with McCarthy, those at CANstruction, and all of our sponsors. Check out some of the CANstruction related articles from SFWeekly, Foodista,and the SFFoodbank. Thanks again to our team and sponsors. We can't wait to do it again next year!

SFCANstruction Winners!

It has been a long time since our last post, but the competition is complete and the can sculptures are now viewable at City View at the Metreon until 7pm Saturday. The Design Partnership and McCarthy entry won honorable mention last night!

We're all very excited and proud of the hard work that everyone put into the competition. Our structure was made out of 8000 cans, and we raised more money and cans than any of the other 13 teams participating! This is an incredible accomplishment. We couldn't have done it without out team leaders: Fumi, Kristy, Ephraim, Sylvester, and Matthew. Also another special thank you to all of our sponsors. They have all been incredibly generous and we appreciate the support. Please check out the time lapse video of the build! Great job everyone! We will see you next year!

Sysco Foods sponsors CANstruction!!

Many thanks to Sysco Foods for becoming our latest Partnership Sponsor! Thanks to Matthew Mosebrook and Mark Matthew at Sysco San Francisco, we have ordered all of our cans for the brick facade and skylight cylinder of the SFMOMA through Sysco. We will receive a nice discount with their sponsorship of our efforts. Our cans will be delivered right on time for our mock up build this coming Saturday!!

We've got a well-balanced meal including garbanzo means, kidney beans, tuna, beef puree, beef slices, chicken puree, kernel corn, apple sauce, fruit cocktail, and peach slices. We've been told by our friends at the San Francisco Food Bank that protein is in high demand, so we've done our best to provide the Food Bank with lots of protein.

A special thanks also goes to Ephraim Bahiru, our team captain at McCarthy Building Companies, for approaching Sysco about being our source of canned food, and also to be a sponsor.

Thank you Sysco!
