Associated Asset Management Hosts Their 13th Annual AAM Tradeshow

    TEMPE, AZ, March 25, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On March 10th, Associated Asset Management (AAM), a nationally recognized leader in community association management, hosted their eagerly awaited annual tradeshow where 80 homeowner association vendors are invited to highlight their services to AAM Community Managers and support staff, while simultaneously raising money for charity.

The AAM Tradeshow not only serves as an entertaining and useful resource for Managers to familiarize themselves with some of Arizona's reputable association vendors, but also functions as a charitable platform to further promote their companywide culture of compassion and Key Fundamental, "Give Back.

Additionally, a silent auction of art pieces created by Free Arts students were available for bid, raising an extra $1,070.00 for the organization! AAM employees and vendors also collectively donated an assortment of over 2,100 art supplies that will directly contribute to the myriad of art programs and events hosted for the children of Free Arts of Arizona.

The various donated items and their quantities included:
- 205 canvases

"AAM on Broadway was an incredible success," said AAM President Amanda Shaw.

The capacity in which it allows us, as well as our generous vendors, to partner with various charitable organizations and learn about how they positively impact our communities is absolutely inspiring and gratifying. Free Arts of Arizona is a truly special organization that we couldn't be more proud to support."
