RMPCMA Celebrates Silver
PCMA’s Rocky Mountain chapter (RMPCMA) commemorated its 25th anniversary on Feb. 21 at the Hyatt Regency Denver dur- ing its 2013 All Hearts Auction and Awards Dinner.
RMPCMA debuted its new online auc-
tion system by Auctions by Cellular, filling it with more than 100 items that attendees could bid on from their smartphones or desktops. Proceeds from the auction bene- fitted the Food Bank of the Rockies as well as the PCMA Education Foundation. “This year’s event was a major suc-
cess for us,” said RMPCMA volunteer Scott Collinsworth, CTS, director of sales with PSAV. “Overall, our attendance and fundraising efforts were at record levels. Our All Hearts Committee worked tire- lessly for the past year to ensure our 25th celebration was a major success. Mission accomplished!”
