The nIc Foundation 

The nIc Foundation is a non-profit charity established in memory of Nicolas Resch.  Nic was the victim of a violent assault leading to severe head trauma injuries.  After ten days in the critical care unit of Theda Clark Hospital, in Neenah, Wisconsin, Nic passed away on April 4, 2005.  He was 27 years of age. 

Nic was a talented and gifted artist and musician who was recognized for his academic achievement.  He enjoyed tennis, swimming, storytelling, and riding motorcycle.  Out of honor and respect to Nic, this foundation is established promoting violence prevention strategies through an educational focus.

 
The "Building Character through Art" contest for K-12 students in Northeastern Wisconsin is currently open.  The nIc Foundation is accepting artwork submissions in eight categories.  To submit an entry, students portray one of the positive character traits/values and write a short narrative describing their work. All private and public schools in NE Wisconsin received information about the contest.  The contest closes on February 21st.
