Sand in the City

Every year the Nebraska Children's Home Society Foundation has Sand in the City. This is a sand sculpting contest to raise awareness of Nebraska Children’s Home’s programs, which include adoption services and education, unplanned pregnancy services, medically fragile foster care and child care, while raising funds to support our efforts. Corporate teams work with professional sand sculptors from throughout the nation and local architects to build incredible sand sculptures, using more than 350 tons of sand! This year I agreed to volunteer as one of the local architects. It was an amazing experience that I am hoping to participate in again in the years to come. And the cherry on top was that I was supporting a cause that had just blessed a good friend with twin baby girls. I was paired with the PayPal Merchant team. They were awesome to work with. Our team was "Seuss in the City" and our sculpture was "Dr. Seuss Storytime". Here are a few images of our team, our sculpture, and the sculpture by the Master Sculptors.
