CCI Industrial Constructors Participates In American Cancer Society Big Dig Event

BRIGHTON, MI (September 24, 2024) – CCI Industrial Constructors, a Brighton-based self-

performing industrial general contractor, participated in American Cancer Society’s Big Dig event hosted by the Operating Engineers Local 324.

The Big Dig event puts kids at the controls of heavy machinery and taking a break from being patients at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. More than 50 pieces of equipment and heavy machinery such as excavators, pavers, lifts, cranes, rollers and loaders were on hand at the Big Dig. The experience also helped the children see how science, technology, engineering and math lessons from the classroom, or STEM, can be applied in real life. 

“It was an incredible honor to volunteer with this event to help end the fight against childhood cancer and witness all the smiles on kids’ faces watching them play on the construction equipment,” said Phillip Garcia, CCI Industrial Constructors Principal Owner & Operations Manager. 

The Michigan Big Dig fundraiser is now in its fifth year. Funds from the event will go toward supporting pediatric cancer research, education and advocacy. Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death among U.S. children and teens ages 1-19.
