Gingertown is a fun event where companies in the industry build a themed gingerbread house, and all the proceeds go to local non-profit organizations with great causes.  Some of these recipient organizations are Children’s National Medical Center and My Sister’s Place (center for abused women) to name a few.  Each firm that participates will be assigned a lot with type of candy and building.  Once the lot is assigned the team will get organize meetings prior to the event and discuss design and construction of the themed lot.  All the building takes place at the day of the event.  2014 theme was for a Rolo's stadium in which the team built a Rodeo stadium. 2013 theme was a Mentos gingerhouse.
