AGC Tennessee partners with AIA, ‘Make a Wish’

Seven-year-old Catherine of Kelso, Tenn., has met the many challenges of treatment for a brain tumor. Earlier this year, Catherine and her Aunt Donna learned she was eligible to receive a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Middle Tennessee. 

After meeting with her wish granter Stewart Bronaugh, vice president of BB&T and AGC member, Catherine wrote a letter to Make a Wish asking for a pink and purple Cinderella caste.

Once the members at AIA and AGC learned of Catherine’s wish, they immediately teamed up to collaborate on how they could make her dream come true. This was the first time the AIA and AGC Middle Tennessee chapters have partnered on a project. 

AGC has several members that were vital in the completion of Catherine’s house.  The Parent Co., Automated Framers, Wasco, Lockett Improvements, Design Build Partners, Dale Inc. and R. D. Herbert all donated time and materials to build Catherine her castle.

On Oct. 20, AGC crews arrived in Kelso to finish painting and decorating her castle.
