Featured Community Involvement Events
On November 14, SpawGlass-Austin was part of a team that built an award-winning structure made entirely of cans as part of CANstruction, benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas (CAFB). Graeber, Simmons & Cowan (GS&C), Jaster-Quintanilla (JQ) and SpawGlass teamed up to plan and build "Drive Smart for Hunger," a smart car structure that used more than 2,800 cans of food. "Drive Smart for Hunger" won the People’s Choice Award and an Honorable Mention, but the team was most proud that they were able to donate such a significant amount of food to the CAFB. CANstruction is a charity committed to ending hunger using “one can” as a catalyst for change.

On October 24, SpawGlass sponsored the first annual Strides for Sarah event, benefiting the National Marfan Foundation (NMF). The event was organized by Rachel Epperson, a former SpawGlass team member, and was named for her three-year old daughter Sarah. The event raised over $6,000, and all proceeds went toward scholarships for families, particularly those with children affected by Marfan syndrome, to attend the 2010 NMF Conference in Houston. Attending this conference will allow families to consult with doctors who are most knowledgeable about Marfan syndrome and attend seminars and receive support related to the syndrome.
Together with clients, architects, specialty contractors and suppliers, SpawGlass-South Texas team members led the charge to raise over $8,500 for United Way of Southern Cameron County, Sunny Glen Children’s Home, Boys & Girls Clubs of Edinburg Rio Grande Valley, Cameron County Children's Advocacy Center/Monica's and Maggie's House and the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley during the fifth annual fishing tournament held October 16-17 at South Padre Island.
