WNC Construction Career Day gave us hope – in our region, the future, and the students who want to rebuild their mountain towns and communities after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
The annual event brought together nearly 600 high school students from 14 school districts to explore careers throughout the construction industry.
Early in the day, it became abundantly clear: This generation wants to do more than just build roads, hospitals, and schools – they want to build legacies, to be a part of something greater than themselves. They want to invest their heart and grit into a resilient region that refuses to give up.
Big thanks to the Mountain Area Workforce Development Board for uniting the industry to highlight these pathways for students!

Today, we golfed for healing and hope at the @raspberryfallsgolf in Leesburg, Virginia.
Putting for Pediatric Care raised an astonishing $76,497 for @uvahealth Pediatric Cancer Center.
We played for Jillian, a beautiful girl battling leukemia of the pancreas, a rare and scary disease. Because of the research and advanced care at UVA Health, Jillian received one of the innovative treatments that result in better outcomes and hold great promise to cure this awful disease.
We played for all the kids who are diagnosed with pediatric cancers. We played for their families who fight this disease right along with them.
Thank you to our industry partners, sponsors, and golfers who raised an incredible amount of money for the UVA Health Pediatric Cancer Center.
We’ll see everyone next year! ...
