Phoenix Challenge Foundation Golf Outing, Fundraiser Postponed With the ongoing pandemic and constrained activities across the country and around the world, the Phoenix Challenge Foundation has decided to reschedule its suc- cessful annual golf tournament. The event is one of the primary sources of fundraising that supports the Founda- tion’s mission of “Building Tomorrow’s Workforce.” The tournament was scheduled for Sept. 23, 2020, in Monroe, North Carolina. The new date will be announced for 2021. The Phoenix Challenge Foundation and its Board want to extend thanks to all those who continue to support the one-of-a-kind program,” said Bettylyn Krafft, Chairman of the Foundation. “The industry’s support is critical to build- ing awareness and breeding young talent for pressroom and management positions throughout the flexo industry. For more than twenty years, more than 5,000 students have been exposed to the flexo industry and what it has to offer. We are extremely proud of this effort and continuing into 2021 and beyond.” With the changes made in response to everyone’s safety, the initiatives of the Phoenix Challenge Foundation continue. New educational programs are being created to provide presses for start-up flexo printing programs across North America. So far in 2020, two presses are being in- stalled to create two new programs in the U.S. Converters and printers across the industry all agree that workforce development and building pressroom tal- ent are their top concerns and priorities. These programs are designed specifically to address these concerns. As a non-profit organization, support is critical. The organiza- tion needs the industry’s financial or volunteer support to continue this work. The PCF is seeking support from both converters and suppliers alike. Industry support will con- tinue benefit these very important initiatives. Visit www.phoenixchallenge.org or contact Bettylyn Krafft at (704) 309-3748 for more information.
