(Las Vegas, Nev. – August 18, 2010) – 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 sixth annual auction to be held at the World of Concrete on Thursday, January 20 at noon.
According to Peter Brewin, Chairman of the CIM Auction Committee, “The proceeds from the 2011 Auction will benefit the CIM National Steering Committee (NSC) and support the current CIM programs as well as help fund future program expansion.”
Organizers hope the 2011 Auction is even bigger than the 2010 Auction, which raised approximately $386,000. The money raised from the CIM Auction, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, will benefit the NSC 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.
“The NSC of CIM has raised more than $1.7 million through the previous five CIM Auctions,” said Brian Gallagher, CIM Marketing Committee Chairman. “We’ve been blessed with tremendous support from the concrete industry. The World of Concrete (WOC) Show Management, Hanley Wood Publications, The Concrete Producer magazine, Concrete Construction magazine, McNeilus International and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers have been with us from the beginning,” he added.
