If you’ve got a fundraising event coming up and are looking for more ways to raise money and raise awareness of your cause why not use balloons? Latex balloons are a fun, cost effective and environmentally friendly way to raise funds through competitions and games!
A balloon race is one of these competitions. They are really simple to organise and take part in. Entrants buy a balloon race label from the organiser that has a number printed on it. On the day they attach the label to a helium filled latex balloon and then all the balloons are then released at the same time. The numbered balloon that travels the furthest and is returned to the organiser is the winner! Throw in a prize for the winner and for the person that sends the winning label back and you’ve got yourself a really attractive and fun event at your fundraiser! Brightly coloured balloons are a good way to attract attention and a different way to raise funds for important causes (it also doesn’t involve running miles and miles!!)
Standard Latex Balloons from Signature Balloons are made from 100% natural, biodegradable latex and will biodegrade in about the same time as an oak leaf! The latex is harvested from the sap from rubber trees which discourages de-forestation, leaving the latex-producing trees intact and able to continue producing latex for up to 40 years! So, by using standard helium filled latex balloons you will be able to have a cost effective, eye catching, environmentally friendly way to raise funds for important causes! Give it a go at your next fundraiser!
