Nearly 60 construction-related employees were killed as a result of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. Immediately after the attacks, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) established the Terrorist Victims Fund through the AGC Education and Research Foundation. The purpose of the fund is to assist with the educational expenses of the children of those construction-related workers who died in the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. On Dec. 17, AGC and the AGC Education and Research Foundation will disperse the funds collected for these family members at a luncheon that will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the New York Marriot Marquis on 1535 Broadway in NYC.
