A big thank you to the generosity of our incredible 2025 sponsors at the 6th Annual Renegade Fest. Together, we raised $138,000 and awarded 33 scholarships to college students who are passionate about careers in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. Thank you for being part of our community and helping us invest and empower the next generation of builders.
Together we empower and drive change, solve problems, and transform lives.

This is a movement that cannot be done alone. Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our goals, money to help us grow, or energy to be a voice for the disadvantaged youth in our communities, we need you on our team.
“What impacted me the most was how that community welcomed us despite not knowing who we were and that we don't need all these materialistic things in life to be happy. They taught me that the best memories come from the little things in life and that we should appreciate what we have since you never know who else wishes they had what we do. I was born in Honduras and raised in a similar neighborhood, so I felt that I be able to connect with this family”
