Ingenuity Winter 2018

Pond Ingenuity Winter 2018 9 Chris Jenkins has served as the team leader for the Pond Atlanta group and, this year, acted as Co-Chair for the Canstruction Atlanta event. As Co-Chair, Jenkins helped with the mid-season fundraiser (Atlanta United tailgate and ticket sales), coordination of judging for the built structures, logistics for the awards gala and provided assistance to the Chair. Jenkins said it meant a great deal for him to be able to collaborate with Canstruction Atlanta, the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the other companies that compete in the event year to year. “I have enjoyed working alongside the many people at Pond that have participated in this event by generously donating their time and money to this great cause,” Jenkins said. “We have learned a lot about building things with cans, but more importantly, we’ve been very fortunate to see how the Canstruction event helps our community.” The Atlanta and Houston offices raised a total of $15,071.66 for each team build event. In 2018, Jenkins will be Chair of the Canstruction Atlanta event, which will be the 20th anniversary of Canstruction. “I look forward to adding a few things to the event in order to highlight this special milestone,” said Jenkins.
