Welcome to our first virtual balloon race.

St Joseph's School PTA is aiming to raise £10,000 this academic year so the school can fund much needed laptops.

In this race, you will be able to choose the shape, colour and pattern of your virtual balloon and even determine its weight by choosing how much helium goes into it. You can write on your balloon too so why not add your name or send a message to someone! It could make a great gift for a loved one. The balloon design process is really easy and great fun for kids and adults alike so please all join in!! Just like a real balloon race, your balloon could be affected by the weather, wind speed, the shape you choose, and high flying geese!

All balloons will be launched virtually at 12 noon on 14th February 2020 from the Eiffel Tower in Paris! After the race starts you’ll be able to follow your balloon on a Google map as it travels across the country, or even overseas! The race lasts for 7 days and the winners will be the balloons that reach the furthest point in a straight line at the end of the seven days.

There will be hundreds of other balloons in the race as you’ll be competing against other charities and organisations from across the UK as well as your fellow classmates, but don't worry, as well as the grand prizes on offer from EcoRacing the PTA will be offering prizes for St Joseph's winners too.

Each balloon costs £3, and once we have paid the admin fee to the organisers, all proceeds which we receive will go towards our target to raise £10,000 to buy much needed laptops for school.

Enjoy the race!

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £759
