The partnership between DPR Construction and Girls Inc. extends well beyond the fundraising total. The company helped demolish an old shed and replace it with a new building at one of the Girls Inc. properties, built a closet at the organization's headquarters, and has worked to engage young women in the construction industry.
Friday's event is a full community day — not just a cornhole tournament. Registration opens at 10 a.m., with games beginning at 11 a.m. Lunch is scheduled for 11:30 a.m., and a guest speaker is set to take the stage at 1 p.m.
Could a cornhole tournament be the key to inspiring the next generation of women in construction? Watch our full video report above to see how DPR Construction and Girls Inc. are building more than just structures in Nashville — from a $40,000 donation to new buildings, new spaces, and new career possibilities for young women.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
