Knighton Before Christmas: A Gingerbread-Building Charity Event Supporting HomeAid Utah
Knighton Architecture, alongside our partners and community, proudly hosted The Knighton Before Christmas, a festive gingerbread-building charity event in support of HomeAid Utah. Designed to bring together families, colleagues, and friends, the evening blended creativity, connection, and purpose—raising awareness and funds for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community.
Event Inspiration
Rooted in the spirit of the holiday season, the event was created as a meaningful way to celebrate creativity while giving back. Gingerbread building served as the centerpiece activity, encouraging friendly competition, teamwork, and imagination across all ages. The event reflected Knighton Architecture’s belief that design—at any scale—has the power to bring people together.
Community, Creativity, and Giving
Participants gathered to design and construct gingerbread creations while enjoying food, hot chocolate, and a welcoming atmosphere. The gingerbread competition offered an engaging way to support HomeAid Utah, with entry fees donated directly to the organization. Additional opportunities to contribute throughout the evening further strengthened the collective impact of the event.

The gingerbread competition showcased impressive creativity and craftsmanship, with competitors recognized through a variety of curated prizes. The energy of the evening was fueled not only by the competition itself, but by shared laughter, collaboration, and the joy of celebrating the season together.
