This past June, our industry lost a dear friend and well-respected architect, Paul Slowik, to cancer. We wanted to honor our friend's memory by doing something he loved. This year our annual Customer Appreciation Shoot became the Paul Slowik Memorial Shoot, raising money to benefit the Passavant Hospital Foundation, an organization in which Paul was very active.  His father designed the original Passavant Hospital, and Paul was the fundraising chair, so teaming with the Foundation felt like a perfect way to honor Paul.

We were fortunate to have a beautiful day for our event. This year, we had silent auction items wtih some really great prizes, like Pirates tickets, a Steelers basket, one-night stay at a hotel, and even a basket of "Paul's Favorite Things." Thank you to Joyce Slowik, who gathered and made the baskets, and to her family and friends for attending the event. The following companies also donated gifts to our event:

The great turnout and level of support we received for the event truly attests to Paul's character and his impact on the industry.

A special thank you to all of our sponsors, for without their generosity, this event would not have been possible:
