When asked about the silent auction at the Ecometry World Conference, Ecometry President and CEO, John Marrah, commented, "Everyone has a lot of fun bidding on the items they want, and it's a great feeling to know that they're helping abused kids. This year will be our biggest conference ever and we should have no problem topping the amount we raised last year for this important charity!"
