Notes and media contacts

About The Big Ball: The Big Ball is an annual opportunity for those in the creative industry to gather and celebrate, not for recognition, but to uphold the nobility of the human spirit, and mobilise resources for charitable causes. Founded by Mr. Barry Kirsch, a veteran music composer and owner of BKP Music and co-founded by Mr. Vishnu Gur, a senior marketer and event producer, The Big Ball 2007 has appointed a committee of approximately 30 opinion leaders from advertising, marketing, public relations, production and communications, to undertake various responsibilities within the organisation of The Big Ball event.

About Byblos Bank: Established in Byblos-Lebanon in 1950, Byblos Bank Group was able to expand with the largest best-spread network of 73 branches in Lebanon, and a strategic presence in Europe and the MENA region.

Because education is crucial to combating poverty and marginalization, Byblos Bank became in August 2005 the first private company to join UNICEF's Adopt-a-School initiative in Lebanon. The Bank's support makes an enormous difference to everyone connected with the schools, from the family, to the child, and the community by improving basic physical conditions in schools, enhancing teacher and administrator skills and creating interest and commitment among parents in addition to providing extra equipment for schools.
