Video game event supports P-H-C education

摘要

Minneapolis - Nearly 90 attendees from the plumbing-heating-cooling industry filled a ballroom here in September to participate in a charity video game event. The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors - National Association (PHCC) Educational Foundation hosted its second annual "Party Lounge" fundraiser as part of the CONNECT 2011 tradeshow and national convention. The players and sponsors helped to raise an estimated $7,000 to benefit the Foundation's educational mission. Six large projection screens lined a wall of the hotel ballroom at the event, each screen loaded with a Nintendo Wii video game ready to play. Attendees competed head-to-head in golf, racing, boxing, bowling and other party games.
