Brew-Fest Fundraiser: Project Healing Waters

The MSLBMDA’s Brew-Fest Fundraiser is a high-energy, fun-filled event that benefits Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing (PHWFF). PHWFF is a phenomenal organization that s dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings. You can learn more about PHWFF through their website at www.projecthealingwaters.org.

The Brew-Fest brings together local brewers, distillers, outfitters, retail lumber dealers, suppliers, contractors and industry friends for a night of fun and fellowship – all the while benefitting our veterans and military heroes. Attendees have the opportunity to bid on an amazing array of Live and Silent Auction items. It’s a great night you’ll want to be a part of!

Careers in Construction Golf Tournament

The Mountain States Leadership Council is pleased to host an annual summer golf tournament that benefits Careers in Construction. The initiative includes a newly launched website, www.gobuildco.com, which will be the nerve center for a region-wide multimedia campaign encouraging teens to sign up for shop class and learn about opportunities in trade careers, while also serving as a job placement platform for students and employers looking for skilled trade employees.

The campaign also aims to expand the program into new schools while winning more support from local construction, lumberyards, distributors and industry trade businesses. In 2019-2020, Denver Public Schools and Adams County Schools have signed on to teach the CIC curriculum, as we expand this program in the Denver Metro Area. It is a win for our kids, and a win for our industry!
