The Northern Ohio Chapter of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) is hosting a March scholarship fundraising event at Gund Arena, the home of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Cleveland Cavaliers.
The March 8 event will include not only seats to the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic game, but also the chance to play hoops on the Gund Arena floor.
For $100 plus a matching $100 donation to the Northern Ohio Chapter Scholarship Fund, participants can play in a game on the Gund Arena court, attend a post-game cocktail party, a pre-game dinner and the game itself. Other donation levels provide access to the pre-game dinner or to the game only.
Arnold Fish, of Metals Conversions Inc., Mansfield, Ohio, is hopeful that the pre-game tournament of scrap competitors may lead to a future event pitting ISRI chapters against one another on the basketball court, perhaps in coordination with an ISRI Annual Convention or Commodity Roundtable event.
Those seeking more details on the March event can contact Northern Ohio ISRI Scholarship Committee members Michael Eisner of Lakeside Metals at meisner@lsminc.net or Arnold Fish of Metal Conversions Inc. at (419) 525-2779 or afish@metalconversions.com.
