This cause was part of Halloween Race
This unique race URL is https://ecoracing.co/cause/whitehall-school-pta-somersham-1945/


Our first fundraising event of the year, back by popular demand.....we are raising funds to help with the cost of buying new computer equipment for the children.

National Star Prizes (for the balloons that fly the furthest, from all charities joining this race):
* 1st: £500 cash prize
* 2nd: iPad
* 10 x £10 book tokens

Each balloon costs £3 and you can buy as many balloons as you want to increase your chances of winning.

Setting off from Dracula's castle, it's a seven-day computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon. The direction and distance the balloons fly is based completely on the way you customise your balloon, and the weather during the week. Other hazards can also affect your balloons flight such as low flying geese if your balloon doesn't have enough helium! The winner of the race is the balloon that’s flown the furthest in ANY direction.

You can buy a virtual balloon for £3 and give it a name, colour, shape and pattern. Don't forget to add your year group! The software designed to run the race uses live weather data to determine the progress of each balloon and each entry can be tracked on Google Maps and Satellites once launched. You can alter your balloon’s parameters at any time before the race to increase your chance of winning.

Please do share our virtual balloon race with as many friends and family members that you can (you can even gift balloons!)

Good Luck! (We will be hoping we do better than last year!)

Our fundraising target is: £100

Gross monies raised so far: £108

Supporters so far: 15
