MJ Participates in Capital Region CANstruction Competition

CANstruction is an annual exhibit and design competition that connects talented architects, engineers, contractors, and students to imagine and create colossal structures built completely out of canned food items. The structures are on display on the fourth floor of the New York State Museum for two weeks, raising awareness of food insecurity in our region while highlighting the local talent of design firms. At the close of the exhibit, every can is donated to the Food Pantries for the Capital District to help feed families in the Capital Region.

5,228 cans and 6 hours later ... Team MJ completed their 3rd successful Capital Region CANstruction Build Day with a Mario and Luigi themed CANstructure standing over 8 feet high and 10 feet wide. A total of 15 teams came together to collect over 104,095 cans of food and $25,000 to donate to local food pantries. Get the full details and learn how you can get involved in CANstruction here.
