Traditionally Worldwide Printing Solutions has raised funds to support a good cause at our annual conference.

At previous Conferences we have sponsored a Worldwide Printing Solutions employee on a bike ride for kids with cancer, raised money for sporting equipment for kids in Fiji, helped Project Futures to counteract child sex trafficking, donated bikes to kids with cancer and supported The Root Cause in their quest to change children’s eating habits. Over the years we have collectively donated over $60,000 to our selected causes.

We asked you to vote for the fund raising cause(s) we will support at our 2017 National Conference and 100% of voters wanted a percentage of the fundraising to go to our very own special Glen Lazenby who suffered a serious stroke earlier this year and will need care and support for his rehabilitation. 73% of those voters allocated an amount of 50% or higher to Glen. The Root Cause and Hear and Say were tied equal 2nd so we will donate 25% of the funds raised to each of those causes and 50% to Glen.

50% of all funds raised will go towards Glen Lazenby's recovery

Glen has worked for Worldwide Printing Solutions hub and prior to that, the franchisor for almost twenty years. Glen’s hard work and dedication to pre-press innovation over many years at the Hub has been integral to the success of our business model. Sadly, Glen suffered a serious stroke earlier this year and will need care and support for his rehabilitation.

25% of all funds raised will go to The Root Cause

Australia's kids are in the midst of a health crisis. Over 1 in 4 Australian children are overweight or obese, and rates of chronic illness are getting worse and worse. But ‘The Root Cause’ is doing something about it. They're travelling across Australia, running school and community events that empower children to make healthier food choices. We supported ‘The Root Cause’ at last year’s conference by raising money to run their food education program in schools throughout Australia. The money we raise this year will help them stay on the road, develop new initiatives, and reach even more people. For more information click here.

25% of all funds raised will go to Hear and Say

Hear and Say provide paediatric hearing technology (including cochlear implants) and listening and spoken language so that children can hear and be heard. More than 10,000 children, young adults and families benefit from their programs and services each year. It costs Hear and Say more than $10,000 each year for up to six years to teach one profoundly deaf child to learn to listen and speak so they rely heavily on the generous support of donors This is a charity that supports Worldwide Printing Solutions by purchasing all of their print through us.
