LAKEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Associa's Colorado Association Services' 3rd Annual Speed Dating Vendor Fair brought in $22,600 that will go directly to Associa Cares to assist families and communities in crisis as a result of natural and man-made disasters.
The event was held Friday, August 21 at Baldoria on the Water in Lakewood. The speed-dating aspect gave HOA community managers one-on-one time with the 38 vendors advertising everything from landscaping and roofing to neighborhood security, plumbing and solar energy.
"Just like speed-dating, managers get to visit with each vendor for a short time to find out more about them before moving to the next vendor," says Associa Regional Vice President Heather Kerwin. "We had well over 100 participants this year and we're proud we were able to make such a large contribution to Associa Cares."
