MINNEAPOLIS, March 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It was a life
well-served and now Valspar's chameleon mascot is about to be
served to those in need in the Tampa
Bay community.
Onsite at the Valspar Championship, 6,600 cans of tuna became
the building blocks for a mammoth sculpture depicting Valspar's
chameleon mascot. Four members of Canstruction®, a unique global
charity whose mission is to feed and inspire the world one can at a
time as it mounts some extremely novel artworks, undertook this
construction building the chameleon on course for golf fans to
enjoy. With the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday, Valspar
will donate the cans of tuna to Feeding America Tampa Bay on
Monday, March 16.
The chameleon structure said in a canned speech, "I've enjoyed
my limited time at the Valspar Championship. I appreciate the many
fans who stopped by and included my brilliant colors in their photo
snapshots. It's now time for me to be of utmost service and help
feed thousands here in the Tampa
Bay area."
While Valspar is best known for its interior and exterior
paints, it also is the No. 1 global supplier of coatings for light
metal packaging, accounting for the coating of nearly 371 billion
