This private, invite only event promotes healing for some of Arizona’s sickest kids while also sparking curiosity and wonder for our construction community. The Big Dig for Kids Board of Directors have committed to raise $500,000 for Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund.
Since 2016, Big Dig for Kids has raised approximately $1.2 million for pediatric cancer research.
