USA - Rosco Laboratories and The ESTA Foundation have announced the presentation by Mark Engel, president of Rosco, of a cheque for the first annual royalty payment to Behind the Scenes from sales of the colour Roscolux 359 Medium Violet. Engel presented the cheque for $2,876 in front of a large gathering on the show floor at USITT in Cincinnati just prior to the annual Behind the Scenes / Long Reach Long Rider raffle.

Engel stated, "These challenging economic times require both imaginative solutions -- and compassion for those in need. That's one of the reasons Rosco is so pleased to be involved in The ESTA Foundation's Behind The Scenes programme. We contribute a part of the proceeds from sales of one of the most popular colours in Roscolux, 359 Medium Violet, to Behind The Scenes. More and more people throughout the industries we serve are choosing this colour both for moonlight and many other effects. As they do, our contribution to this immensely worthy cause grows."

Tobin Neis, a longtime member of the Behind the Scenes Committee and a new member of The ESTA Foundation Board of Directors, accepted the cheque and commented, "On behalf of the ESTA Foundation's Board of Directors we thank all those that purchased Roscolux 359 Medium Violet in the last year and especially Rosco, who is generously supporting Behind the Scenes on an ongoing basis with this programme."
