As part of the 26th Annual TCU Hunger Week, Kanstruction teams will compete by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of canned foods. At the close of the competition, food used in the structures will be donated to the Tarrant Area Food Bank (www.tafb.org) to feed those in need.

Contact co-chairs  Ido Fahri (i.j.fahri@tcu.edu) or Jordan Cohen (j.adare.cohen@tcu.edu) or staff advisor Angie Kaufman (a.kaufman@tcu.edu) with questions.  Teams will receive an email confirmation with more information within 48 hours of entry submission.
