Why Is A TV News Anchor Answering The Absolutely PR Phone?

Lakewood, CO (PRWEB) August 16, 2007 -- Denver public relations consulting firm, Absolutely Public Relations, seems to have a new receptionist answering the phone. But, one moment please, is that a new employee? "No, not at all," Maggie Chamberlin Holben, APR, owner and founder of Absolutely PR, explains. "It's CBS4 Anchor Jim Benemann (http://cbs4denver.com/bios/local_bio_115004037.html) making good on the silent auction prize he donated to the Denver Press Club (DPC) for the 2007 Damon Runyon event."

"The DPC funds scholarships for university journalism students, fostering the best in student journalism. Awards at this year's event included the Runyon Scholarship Awards and Al Nakkula Police Reporting Award."

This year's Damon Runyon event honored Emmy-award winning NBC and HBO sportscaster Bob Costas. He received the DPC's 13th annual Damon Runyon award during a sold out banquet at the Westin Tabor Center on June 22. Information about Costas' extensive broadcasting achievements is found at http://www.hbo.com/costasnow/bios/bob_costas.html
