RIFA announces ‘Canstruction 2024: An Evening With Mike Goodwin’

JACKSON, Tenn. — The Regional Inter-Faith Association also known as RIFA is thrilled to announce ‘Canstruction 2024: An Evening With Mike Goodwin.’

In this design competition, Jackson-based organizations will form teams to showcase their talents by creating giant sculptures entirely out of unopened cans of food, on September 24.

The Canstruction Gala will be held Thursday, September 26, where the structures will be on display for guests to view the teams’ creative efforts toward RIFA’s mission.

The 19th annual event will be hosted at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in downtown Jackson.

The gala includes a formal dinner, awards ceremony, and entertainment by comedian Mike Goodwin.

“The feeling of camaraderie and family that’s in the room, I love that part. It just is such a great feeling to know that you’re part of something that gives back to our community to help out others and I am thrilled to be part of the work,” said Denice Walton, community relations manager.

All the canned food used to make the structures is donated to RIFA for distribution to people in our community.
