Construction vs. Cancer event, participants can operate real construction equipment like excavators, scissor lifts, and more.

The BIG DIG UTAH is a family-friendly large equipment festival benefiting the American Cancer Society and pediatric cancer research. Big Dig Utah gives adults and children, including cancer patients and survivors, the opportunity to operate large construction equipment, including excavators, scissor lifts, and more! Bring the whole family and make a day of it!

Despite major advancements in treatment, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death among children ages 0 to 14. More than 9,900 new cancer cases will be diagnosed across the age group in the United States in 2024.

Funds raised for the event will directly go to support pediatric cancer research. The American Cancer Society is currently funding over $800,000 in pediatric multi-year research grants at the University of Utah and Primary Children’s Hospital and more than $37 million in grants across the United States. The 2024 Big Dig event raised over $100,000 for pediatric cancer research.
