On Tuesday, November 12, over 280 PCMA GMC members and partners turned up at 10Pin Bowling Lounge in downtown Chicago for the annual Bowl Bash. Many came from the PCMA Foundation Fashion Show at Navy Pier, and were well-dressed for the bowling fun with colleagues and friends in the industry.

The evening began with networking time, as well as a few minutes to peruse and bid on the silent auction items, and purchase tickets for the over 30 bottles donated to the wine and spirit pull. Delicious cocktails were generously supported by Visit Austin, and attendees snacked on salad and pizza.
