The Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program - a business intensive program that awards students with a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Concrete Industry Management - is seeking donations for their fifth annual auction to be held at the World of Concrete on Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010 at 1:00 p.m.
Organizers hope the 2010 Auction is even bigger than the 2009 Auction, which raised approximately $300,000. The money raised from the CIM Auction, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, will benefit the CIM National Steering Committee and support the CIM Programs at Middle Tennessee State University, Arizona State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Texas State University and the California State University - Chico.
According to Wally Johnson of US Concrete, Inc., the 2009 CIM Auction Chairman, "The money raised will benefit the CIM National Steering Committee and support the current CIM programs as well as help fund future program expansion."
In addition to the live auction, a silent auction was held this year. Auction items included cement, a skid steer, concrete saws, drills, mixers, vibrators, scaffolding, safety equipment, screeds, fiber transport systems, dust collectors, NDT equipment, decorative concrete tools, water meters, pumps, generators, training sessions, reference books, advertisements, laptop computers, sports memorabilia, sports travel packages, golf school packages and vacation travel packages.
Those interested in making a donation should contact Wally Johnson at 713.499.6229 or mailto:wjohnson@us-concrete.com
