APPLETON, Wis. – Consolidated Construction Company, Inc. invites high school students across the region to showcase their artistic talent in the company’s first annual Student Art Contest, part of the 2026 Consolidated for a Cause campaign. This year, all funds raised by Consolidated for a Cause will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, with proceeds helping fund research, support services, and advocacy for individuals living with MS.
The contest challenges local students to create original artwork that reflects the themes of hope, resilience, and community. The winning design will serve as the visual identity of the 2026 Consolidated for a Cause campaign, appearing on posters, shirts, social media, and other promotional materials.
“Art has the power to inspire action,” said Michelle Rueckl, VP of Human Resources at Consolidated Construction. “By inviting students to contribute their creativity, this campaign will gain a visual identity that resonates with the community and raises awareness for multiple sclerosis. At the same time, this opportunity gives students real-world experience and recognition for their work.”
