September is International Balloon Month: Join the #LiftUpSomebody Campaign & Contest

The #LiftUpSomebody Campaign is an annual effort to celebrate America's love affair with balloons, promote Smart Balloon Practices and use balloons to “lift up” someone in your local community.

The campaign is held annually in September during International Balloon Month and all friends of the balloon industry are invited to participate.  We encourage everyone to get involved and make a difference in your community!

Our new Spokesballoon Faraday will be celebrating by touring the country making several stops in September to promote the "Meet Faraday: Smart Balloon Practices" national education campaign.
