It was night of dinner, dancing and fun but most of all it was about pursuit of a good cause at Federation University’s annual Blue Tie Ball at the Mt Helen Campus on Saturday.

The ball, now in its sixth year, was a night of fun and entertainment to raise funds and awareness for beyondblue, the national organisation that works to raise awareness about anxiety and depression.
Guest speakers were beyondblue ambassadors and 2017 My Kitchen Rules contestants, Mark Virgona and Chris Jongebloed.
Mark Virgona became a beyondblue speaker after experiencing depression a couple of years ago and does not want others to feel the pain he suffered.
He wants to make a difference in society and share his experience that it is right to speak up and the importance that mateship has on beating the illness.
Chris Jongebloed became a beyondblue speaker because he has seen the benefits of talking openly about anxiety and depression. He wants to encourage others in similar situations to do the same.
