The money raised from the CIM Auction, to 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 and the California State University–Chico.
Organizers hope the 2008 Auction is even bigger than the 2007 Auction, which raised approximately $500,000.
Among the items auctioned last year were a McNeilus/International concrete mixer truck, BASF admixtures, a Putzmeister portable grout and concrete pump, a Command Alkon batch control system, 10 Enviroguard mixer washout systems and many more.
