Culture

Our Culture Committee heads up multiple, team-oriented activities and events to bring Q&D people together. Events include movie night, a weight-loss challenge, team dress-up days and participation in Moms on the Run to benefit local cancer survivors.

University of Nevada Basketball game

Q&D’s Culture Committee picks one game in February and purchases 60 tickets to offer up to employees and their families. It is a great event that has grown since the first time we purchased tickets and is a perfect chance to get out and cheer on the Wolf Pack!

Night at the Discovery Museum

For an evening in March we rent out the entire Discovery Museum for Q&D employees and their families to enjoy all the exhibits! We also provide snacks for all that attend. It is free for all and the space allows up to 300 people!

Monthly Jobsite Lunches

Every month starting in April, the Culture Committee selects and visits a jobsite, feeding the crews on that project a great lunch in appreciation of everything they do in the field! Lunches provided range from yummy tri-tip sandwiches to carne asada tacos with all the fixin’s!

Q&D Side-by-Side ride

Calling all side-by-side owners! If you have not attended this event, it is a must! Q&D’s annual side-by-side ride takes place in late spring/early summer and is sure to be a blast. It starts at a location in Northern Nevada hand selected by the region’s best construction superintendents. Traditionally, between 25-to-30 rigs full of Q&D employees and their families show up for a day on the trail! The Culture Committee provides lunch for all that attend.

Q&D Nights at the Reno Rodeo

The Culture Committee purchases 300 tickets for two nights, couples night and family night. The tickets are offered to Q&D employees and their families to get out and enjoy a hot summer night and a great show at the wildest, richest rodeo in the west!

I-Dig Q&D – An employee Family Celebration

This staple event is a huge party in July put together by the Culture Committee! It is full of fun things to do for our Q&D employees and their families, ranging from bounce houses, to face painters and snow cones, to a Reno Police Department exhibit! The real fun always starts with the heavy equipment for the kiddos to operate! Each year 10-to-15 pieces of equipment are set out manned with Q&D employee volunteers to help kids try out being an operator for a day. Lunch is also served for all in attendance! Over 300 employees and their families make it out for this event every year!

Reno Aces Game Night

Q&D’s night at the Reno Aces includes 200 tickets for Q&D employees and their families to attend an Aces game in August! This event is a great family event that includes the ticket to the game and some food to enjoy for everyone. Go Aces!

Employee Charity BBQs

Q&D’s Night at the Reno Aces included 100 tickets for Q&Ders and their family members to attend the Aces v. Sacramento River Cats. The Reno Aces are northern Nevada’s minor league team, affiliated with the Arizona Diamondbacks. They play in an open-air, downtown stadium and the team promotes family and community.

Annual Chili Cook-Off

Every year in November brave Q&D employees make chili to bring into the office for blind taste testing. We crown first, middle of the pack, and worst chili! It is a fun time with some yummy chili. We also invite the three local charities to participate in the chili cook off and speak a little about their charities before we send them off with the donations Q&D employees raised over the year!

Q&D Christmas Family

For the past few years, through the AGC, Q&D selects one family and provides it a traditional Christmas! We get very generous donations from our Q&D family and then shop for the family’s needs and a few fun things they want! After the shopping is done, a wrapping extravaganza takes place! Lastly, we get to hand deliver presents to the family so they can have a Christmas unlike any other!
