Magleby Construction was asked by the Highland Group to build a custom doghouse that they would design for the benefit of the Huntsman Cancer Institute.  This dog house will be auctioned off at an exclusive gala on November 2^nd at the Grand America Hotel.  The Huntsman Cancer Institute is unique in that 100% of the funds raised go to cancer research.  The Huntsman Family themselves underwrite the Foundation and staff salaries so it is possible to do that. Several Magleby employees went above and beyond taking pride in every detail and personally performing a majority of the work. In addition to all their construction expertise and personal craftsmanship they also helped solicit donations from trade partners, negotiated discounts, and found 9 BYU Construction Management students who volunteered their time on the project. Magleby Construction is proud to support their community and worthy causes.
