National Construction Charity, Sierra Pacific West & Make-a-wish San Diego Unveil New ‘Man Cave’ for Young Man In La Jolla

AGC Charities, Sierra Pacific West and Make-A-Wish San Diego teamed up to lead dozens of volunteers to build a dedicated “man cave” for puzzles and hobbies to fulfill a local boy’s wish. The volunteer workday in La Jolla, California involved completing and painting the standalone, climate-controlled man cave in the boy’s back yard. All of the work was done free of charge.

The volunteers who participated in the charity project are all members of the Associated General Contractors of America. Many of the volunteers arrived early into the area to participate in the project prior to attending the association’s annual convention, which took place March 20-22 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.

Much of the work and donated supplies were arranged by Sierra Pacific West with the help of the AGC of San Diego and its apprenticeship training program. In addition to building the man cave in La Jolla, the volunteers also completed a similar she-shed for a young lady in San Diego. United Rentals also donated laboratories and cleaning stations for the two projects. Other firms that contributed to the project include Berg Electric, PSSI, Hess Roofing, Casper Company and the AGC Apprenticeship program in San Diego.

The volunteers divided into teams and spent the day working on the man cave, painting the exterior and bringing the inside of the shed to life. Some of the volunteers also worked to prepare some of the puzzles and activities that will be a key part of this special new space. The structure was built offsite and assembled on the property by volunteers with Sierra Pacific West and the other local construction firms.
