Digital printer Revolution Print has joined with Ball & Doggett and Konica Minolta Australia to launch a Flood Fundraiser 2023 calendar to support front-line community groups helping victims of the devastating recent floods across Echuca and Rochester in northern Victoria. Ball & Doggett donated 250gsm (cover) and 170gsm satin (internal) paper, and Konica Minolta supplied the ink.

“We’ve all seen the pictures and heard the heart breaking stories of the thousands of people who have been left devastated by the floods in recent months,” said Ballarat, VIC-based Revolution Print.
“While the floods are no longer front page news, this disaster is certainly not over, with the ongoing recovery set to last for years to come. We are hoping to raise some funds for the Echuca Neighbourhood House and Rochester Community House to continue to help their communities impacted by the floods.

“We’ve chosen to support the Echuca Neighbourhood House and Rochester Community House because they are not for profit volunteer based organisations who are on the ground at the coal face of this recovery, assisting their communities on a day by day basis providing essentials like food and groceries, preparing meals, providing accommodation / temporary housing, communicating and co-ordinating clean up assistance and connectivity to medical and counselling services, to name but a few.
“Because they are part of the community, they are able to provide assistance to who, where and when it is needed most.
“The geeks at Revolution Print have teamed up with Ball & Doggett and Konica Minolta to put together this awesome calendar and help raise much needed funds so they can continue this level of support for as long as it is needed. All images in the calendar have been provided by members of the flood affected communities and depict the epic journey they're on, of their resilience, connection and community spirit.
