Tony Bertrand, marketing and business development manager for BJ Ball, says the aim is to raise $20,000 for the foundation, and already half of the 30 tables are sold. Betrand says, “With more than 34,000 people directly employed in the Australian printing industry, 32 per cent being women, it is important we recognise the human challenges that many of us will face over our lifetime. “As a family we should take the opportunity to celebrate, enjoy and contribute to the successes, the fun things and the serious things that occur every day in our industry.” Seats for the night are $110, tables $1000.
