On Saturday, March 29, the inaugural Tradies Ball was held at Dubbo RSL Club to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health charity ‘Tradies in Sight’.
The Ball was an initiative by Dubbo Photo News and those in attendance were treated to a delicious buffet-style meal and an amazing dessert by the catering team at the RSL.
The highlight of the night was a Q+A session with Paul Hausia from B2B Abilities, founder of Tradies in Sight Bruno Efoti, and Dubbo Photo News general manager Lucie Peart about the importance of speaking about mental health and the unique challenges that men face when trying to reach out for help.
Bruno spoke about the need for increased funding or donations to the charity as more and more people are reaching out to the community-based organisation for help.
The night was topped off with an amazing performance by renowned rock band ‘Ballz n All’ with Ball attendees taking to the dance floor to dance the night away.
The event raised over $5000 on the night through raffle ticket sales for Tradies n Sight with Bruno thanking sponsors and attendees for believing in the charity’s mission and message.
