But it's not just about the competition. We believe in giving back to the community, which is why the projects created during the event will be used in a giveaway where participating brands will match $1 for every entry. Donations will support Aynimundo and the Katz-Moses Woodworkers with Disabilities Fund. By participating in our event, you will not only be part of an exciting woodworking challenge but also contribute to meaningful causes that make a difference.
