About the gathering

Every year, this dinner has grown, from 24 to 200, to 400, to nearly 600. This December 3rd at the Skirball Cultural Center, we're aiming for 1,000 guests.

Christmas brings us together for something special. We step away from networking and talk of the next job to celebrate Jesus, bless one another, and give back. It’s a time for our construction community to share in the Good News and the joy of Christmas.

Tickets cover attendance at this private dinner. Sponsorships help cover the evening and include the seats and recognition listed in each package.

For four years, generous friends helped make this Christmas gathering possible. What began with 24 people grew to nearly 600 last December. This year, we’re gathering at the Skirball Cultural Center for a private evening of dinner, fellowship and Christmas celebration. Tickets and event sponsorships help cover the evening. If cost is a barrier, you can privately request an invitation. If you’re able, you can help cover a seat for another invited guest.
