DPR Construction Raises $18,000 for The Autism Tree Project and San Diego Art Institute

DPR Construction raised $18,000 at the company’s 2nd Annual Cornhole Classic fundraiser. One hundred percent of proceeds were donated to the Autism Tree Project Foundation and the San Diego Art Institute Youth Outreach Program.

“One of our core values at DPR is to build great things and that includes building positive connections in our community,” said DPR’s Chair of the event, Ian Pyka. “I couldn’t be more proud of our staff, clients, subcontractors and friends in the industry for coming out to raise money for two organizations that help to improve the lives of youth and families in San Diego.”

This year’s Cornhole Classic event featured 100 teams made up of construction industry professionals playing rounds of cornhole for noteworthy causes. Noted artist Christopher Konecki donated a set of painted original cornhole boards to help raise funds and guests enjoyed food truck fare, craft brews and live music strummed by guitarist, singer and songwriter Casey Turner.

The Autism Tree Project Foundation is dedicated to improving communities in San Diego County by assisting with education, advocacy, early intervention preschool screening and mentoring for families impacted by autism. The San Diego Art Institute Youth Outreach Program provides unique opportunities for local students, artists, and audiences to engage with contemporary art. Donations will directly support exhibition and outreach programs across San Diego and beyond.
