A community competition to end hunger.

Canstruction^®Madison is a competition where teams build incredible, highly imaginative structures out of canned goods and packaged food they have purchased or collected.  After the competition, all the food will be donated to MOM's Food Pantry.  Canstruction^®Madison invites the public to view the structures and contribute their own donation of canned food to help end hunger.  The inaugural 2011 event raised nearly 20 tons of food.

Presented by Madison Area Builders Association and Northwestern Mutual-Kosnick Financial Group

Team registration for the 2012 is open.  Go to the event website, canstructionmadison.org, for more information.

Each year Food Concepts, Inc. hosts a fund-raising silent auction.  FCI is committed to the ongoing support of the arts and philanthropy in consideration of the need for families and children in our community less fortunate than ourselves. The event's targeted charitable organization is MOM, supporting Dane County families in need in Madison, Middleton and Cross Plains.

Each holiday season, join us at Home for the Holidays, featuring a live radio play at the beautiful state-of-the art Middleton Performing Arts Center.  The event benefits MOM's efforts to prevent homelessness.

Accompanied by a live big band, the event includes a delicious dessert reception with silent auction, show-stopping commercials, and audience participation.  An event not to be missed!

"We have been going to a Christmas show every year for the last ten years as our 'make a memory instead of buying a gift'  holiday tradition. We have been to the Fireside Theatre Christmas thrice, the Nutcracker Ballet in Madison, at Young Auditorium and Jefferson Council for the Performing Arts, even Transiberian Orchestra and Green Bay Packer games … but NONE were more well done, more entertaining and more professional than this performance!! Simply fabulous! Can't say enough about the wonderful gift we have received. Thank you, MOM!"

The 2011 event was presented by Affilliated Communications.
