Our WALSH team of Aaron Stevens, Adam Klauba, Jacob Avery and Maren Sinclair had so much fun spending Labor Day participating and witnessing all of the amazing creations completed within the four hour deadline. Thank you to everyone at Lovett Deconstruction for their 3rd Annual Dropbox Derby 2019, a design/build challenge completed in four hours using salvaged materials to raise money for a local nonprofit! This year Lovett selected Raphael House of Portland – a non-profit whose mission is to engage our entire community in non-violent living while providing a safe haven from domestic violence.
