Sydney adlanders attempt to raise over $150,000 for mental health
A group of Sydney-based media and advertising industry members has reminded adlanders about the pressures the sector can place on their mental health, and is seeking to raise over $150,000 for mental health charities.

With R U OK Day just passed and mental health month on the horizon, the group said there was no better time to decrease the stigma around mental ill health for those working in media and beyond.
Led by a committee including Momentum Media’s William Magee, Michael Magee and Ronan McGowan and CBS Interactive’s Neil O’Sullivan, the group will stage a charity ball in November with proceeds going to batyr and Pieta House.
It’s such an honour to be part of this group of amazing people.
The Light Ball Sydney takes a light-hearted approach to a very serious issue that affects all communities here in Australia and across the globe and we hope to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the issue next month.
If anyone reading this is ever struggling or needs a chat, the Light Ball committee is here and willing to help.
Hi everyone, we just wanted to let all your readers know that the event last Saturday was a great success.
Early predictions are saying we could have raised more than $150,000. Stay tuned for final numbers soon.
Thanks again for all the support.
