Event Details

The Detroit Section of the Society of Plastic Engineers will hold its’18th annual Material Auction on Friday, February 10, 2012, at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, Detroit, MI.. This will mark the eighteenth anniversary of this event, which raises funds for the Educational Programs of the Detroit Section. As you know, the primary focus of the SPE is to include sending the PlastiVan to local elementary, middle and high schools, providing scholarships to individuals pursuing careers in various plastic disciplines at local colleges and universities, supporting student chapter directives, and providing educational/technical seminars to SPE members and student members.
We hope that your company will support our program via the donation of prime obsolete, excess, or current production materials to our auction. You might even have newly formulated products whereby our auction may be used as a marketing vehicle. The benefits that you will receive from your donation and attending this event include;
- A legitimate tax write-off for the full value of any and all materials you donate.
- An opportunity to advertise your company logo on the TV monitors at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino during the Material Auction.
- A chance to entertain customers and suppliers at a great event and to continue to grow the membership of SPE.
Also new at this year’s auction, recognition awards will be presented to the Top Bidder and Top Donator based on the results of the 2011 SPE Detroit Section Material Auction. In addition, Pattrick the Magician will once again entertain attendees with his magic at the Material Auction.
