Print Group Gets on Board with Charity
Some 13 members of print communications group Worldwide Online Printing have joined forces to donate all the printing needs for children's charity foundation Zig Zag's fundraising ball, which is being held later this week.
The black tie event will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on May 24, where the money raised will be used to support charities in Queensland. Last year the Zig Zag Foundation rose over $400,000 towards essential services provided by charities for sick, underprivileged and at-risk children.
Andrew Robertson, coordinator of Worldwide Online Printing's sponsorship says the participating business from the Brisbane metro and CBD area will be donating the printing of everything from raffle tickets to programmes.

Worldwide now has 88 local print and design centres throughout Australia and it claims to be one of the county's fastest growing print franchises.
Michelle Lawson, founder and director of Zig Zag, says to run the ball and make money for chosen charities, the foundation relies on the generosity of local business sponsors, volunteers and attendees.
Lawson says, "We're grateful to have Worldwide on board for the Zig Zag Ball again this year. The quality of the print work Worldwide provides gives our event such a professional and fun image."
