Cinderella at Boo at the Zoo

Every October, the Knoxville Zoo has a benefit called, ‘Boo at the Zoo, to raise money to care for the animals.  Children dress in Halloween costumes and come to see the animals, get free candy and be with their favorite costumed characters. Building Ideas is proud to sponsor Walt Disney's famous female character, Cinderella. To see the dates for this year’s event, to sponsor Cinderella’s carriage or to make a donation to the Knoxville Zoo, click here: Knoxville Zoo Events

Valentine's Day Hugs & Hershey's Kisses

On Valentine's Day, the Building Ideas team visits area nursing homes to deliver hugs and Hershey's kisses. To read the story from our last visit click here.

Angel & Elf

Each year, the Building Ideas Angel visits area shelters and children’s communities to share stories that inspire faith and trust.  Angels are referenced in numerous faith-based writings as messengers.  They come to alert people of danger, to help people understand their life, or to simply have faith and trust that life is for the best, even if they do not understand.

The Building Ideas Elf comes to share hugs.  Spotted at parades, events, the mall, Home Depot and more, The Elf gives holiday hugs that inspire even the biggest Grinches to smile!

Watershed Cleanup

The Building Ideas crew has a great appreciation for the living waters of our lakes, rivers and oceans. To show respect for the power of water and humanity's daily need to drink clean water, the Building Ideas crew cleans up area waterfronts. Trash and recyclable items are removed and disposed of properly, recreating and appreciating the natural beauty of our world.
