What is Canstruction?Imagine a project that isn’t built with lumber, brick, or steel, but instead uses creatively-arranged canned goods to bring a spectacular sculpture to life. That’s what Dayton Canstruction is all about!

|
In 2023, nine local companies built CanSculptures that combined for a donation of over 26,000 canned goods to the Foodbank of Greater Dayton. We hope to beat these numbers in 2024— and we want YOU to be a part of it.
2024 important dates:

Event details
Canstruction Kickoff: This event is held after final designs and orders are submitted. All teams are invited and encouraged to send at least one representative to share their design with their competitors. This event builds the excitement for Canstruction while offering enjoyable opportunities to network and socialize.
Build Day: This is the big day— the day your team's CanSculpture comes to life! Teams arrive to the Dayton Mall, where their cans will be waiting for them in a designated area. All that's left to do then is get building!
Canstruction Celebration and Awards: Attendees will eat, drink, socialize, and celebrate at this evening that officially concludes the yearly Canstruction event cycle. All teams and event partners are encouraged to attend. Awards will be presented in six categories. The group will also hear from The Foodbank about the impact their participation in Canstruction will have on the Greater Dayton community.

What are the fees? |
