PRO EM Returns to Provide Event Management for 9th Annual Pat's Run at ASU’s Tempe Campus

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - April 20, 2013 - PRLog -- PRO EM Party & Event Rentals returns today to provide event management for the eighth consecutive year at Pat’s Run, the signature fundraising event for the Pat Tillman Foundation held annually at Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium to honor the legacy of former ASU and Arizona Cardinals football player Pat Tillman.

Pat’s Run is expecting a crowd of 35,000 participants, volunteers and spectators today along the 4.2-mile course along ASU’s campus in Tempe. The event production company will supply a total of 40 tent structures throughout the event to assist with participant registration at the north end of Sun Devil Stadium and the Kids Corner and Finish Line Expo interactive areas. PRO EM will also provide 300 table rentals in the registration and interactive areas and five 66 kw rental generators for power use.

PRO EM is also providing event security throughout the event and has been working closely with the City of Tempe, Tempe Police Department, ASU and ASU Police Department on all security matters to ensure the safety of all of the participants and spectators after the tragic events at the Boston Marathon earlier this week.

“PRO EM is honored to provide event management at Pat’s Run again this year so the Pat Tillman Foundation can provide assistance to veteran servicemembers and their spouses as part of the Tillman Military Scholars program,” said Brady Castro, PRO EM’s Vice President of Operations. “Our experience in event security at large events and having a longstanding working relationship with the Pat Tillman Foundation has allowed us the opportunity to review and monitor security protocol with the law enforcement agencies for ASU and the City of Tempe and ensure safety for all in attendance.”

Pat’s Run features a 4.2-mile run/walk and .42-mile Kids Run for children 12 and under, with participants in both events finishing on the 42-yard line on Frank Kush Field inside Sun Devil Stadium. The No. 42 is symbolic throughout the event because Tillman wore the number on his jersey while playing football for ASU.
