Giving Back in a Big Way: Our Incredible Day at Touch-a-Truck in Christiansburg, VA!
Giving Back in a Big Way: Our Incredible Day at Touch-a-Truck in Christiansburg, VA!
featured in Community and Team

One of the biggest highlights of the day? Our handprint dumpster! Covered in the bright, joyful handprints of local kids, it turned into a living piece of art—and a symbol of the hands-on spirit that drives our community forward. Every print told a story of creativity, involvement, and belonging.

We were also honored with a visit from some superheroes—not just the costumed kind, but the everyday heroes who give their time and energy to support local causes and help educate future generations.

And in the ultimate show of commitment (and a splash of fun), one of our own took a plunge in the dunk tank—all in support of local trades classroom projects! The crowd loved it, and every drop raised helped fund vital resources for vocational and technical education in our schools.

Why It Matters

Being part of Touch-a-Truck wasn’t just about showcasing big rigs or enjoying a day out—it was about something much bigger. Our sponsorship helped bring the event to life, but more importantly, it helped fuel a mission: supporting the next generation of skilled tradespeople and investing in our community's future.

As a company deeply rooted in this region, we believe in lifting up our neighbors, supporting education, and showing kids what’s possible when we all work together. Events like this remind us that giving back can be powerful and fun.

Thank You, Christiansburg!

To everyone who stopped by, painted a handprint, cheered at the dunk tank, or simply came out to show support—thank you. You helped make Touch-a-Truck a huge success, and we’re honored to have shared the day with such an incredible community.

Together, we're building something stronger than steel—we're building a better tomorrow.
