The ESTA Foundation provides industry members with financial support when they are seriously ill or injured, and has announced that two well-known industry companies, Rose Brand and Reed Rigging, are making donations to the programme as part of their 2009 holiday charitable giving.
"Rose Brand has been an active participant in supporting The ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes programme since its inception in 2005," states Josh Jacobstein, Rose Brand's sales director. "We feel that it is essential that companies like ours take care of our fellow industry professionals and family members in need of support. We look forward to working with the organization for many years to come."
Benjamin Cohen, director of sales at Reed Rigging, says, "Tough economic times place immense pressures on us when we least expect them. With job losses, budget cutbacks, and even the growing threat of H1N1, an organization like The ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes is more important than ever."
