For the second year in a row, we donated materials and one full day of man power to build the set for one of Middleton Players Theatre’s summer productions. Each summer MPT stages three full-scale musicals at the Middleton Performing Arts Center. This year the show was All Shook Up, featuring the music of Elvis Presley and a cast of nearly 50. We are proud to support MPT (literally — our set needed to support dozens of cast members!) which successfully celebrates local talents while providing professional-level theatrical experiences!

On a snowy Sunday night, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art's glass-encased lobby was transformed into a high-energy, music-infused indoor cycling experience. Developed in partnership with Cyc Fitness spinning studio, Art Velo brought cycling, fitness, and art enthusiasts together for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

habitat for humanity, july 2016
We partnered with our tenant neighbors - Vierbicher, Atmosphere Commercial Interiors, New York Life Insurance, Envision IT, and Welshire Capital - to build a Habitat home in our office building’s parking lot. In just one morning, the 100 volunteers built all of the interior and exterior walls with Hussaine and Khadija, who will move into the home. The walls will eventually be transported to Fitchburg’s Renaissance on the Park neighborhood, where the home will be constructed later this year.
friends of pheasant branch, december 2015
Newcomb Construction donated $10,000 to Middleton’s Friends of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy to support their work in restoring, preserving, and protecting this natural area along the Pheasant Branch Creek. “I run (the bike trail) with my colleagues at least once a week… My son’s cross-country team practices on the trails. And every time I come out here it is better than the last,” said president Bret Newcomb. In a rapidly developing city, the 600-acre conservancy is a regional gem that we are lucky to have and happy to support.
Bonfire Bash, September 2015
Newcomb Construction was the presenting sponsor of the 2015 Bonfire Bash, in which 407 community members set the Guinness world record for "Most People Simultaneously Making S'mores"! Yum!

All proceeds benefitted Middleton Outreach Ministry, which strives to raise awareness for the prevention of homelessness in our community.
Gilda's Run, October 2014

The route took participants past three of our concrete tilt-up buildings. This is the 7th annual Gilda's Run for the Madison area branch. Gilda's Club offers support groups, information and social events for those living with cancer or supporting a loved one with cancer. The national organization is named after comedian Gilda Radner, who died young of ovarian cancer but realized the importance of emotional support for cancer patients.

Preston, Anna, and Nicole from Newcomb Construction each partnered with students from Olson Elementary to help create the "Capitol Square" seen here.
Canstruction Madison, May 2013
Canstruction is a community competition to end hunger. Teams build incredible, highly imaginative structures out of canned goods and packaged food they have either purchased or collected. After the competition, the food is donated to Middleton Outreach Ministry’s Food Pantry. Newcomb Construction engineered and built an 8' tall Tower of Pisa, made up of 804 cans of fruits and vegetables. It leans at a 5 degree angle, without any supports.
Volunteer Day, December 2012
For the third winter in a row, Newcomb employees have donated one day's worth of their time and talents to Middleton Outreach Ministry, who matched them with local senior citizens in need of some manual labor. Dozens of Middleton residents received visits from our guys, who helped them with household projects like caulking, weatherizing, hanging shelves, changing out faucets, etc. It was our pleasure to give back to our community during the holiday season and to help those who are less able.
