Thank you for coming to support our first ever virtual event!

Any funds raised will go towards supporting our wonderful Squirrels schools in providing the children with exciting learning opportunities.

Race your virtual balloon from the Eiffel Tower, Paris. You can take part from the comfort of your own home and, as it's virtual, it's environmentally friendly too!

Here's what you need to do:

1. Buy a virtual balloon
2. Decorate it (virtually, of course!)
3. Wait for the race to start (12pm, 14th February)
4. Track your balloon online
5. When the race ends, check to see if you've won anything!

You’ll be up against others, who have picked their balloon shape, colour, thickness and helium content carefully to get them the furthest by the time the clock runs out. The race uses real-time weather updates to show your balloon's location from it's launch point at the Eiffel Tower.

There are national prizes for the balloons that go the furthest

1st - £500
2nd - Apple iPad
3rd - 10 x £10 book tokens

and FOSHS will be providing school prizes too!

1st - £50
2nd - £20
3rd - £10

Balloons cost £3 each and there's no limit on how many you can have, so get the kids involved to race against their friends, teachers and family!

An eco-friendly virtual balloon race. Friends and family can play too!

How far will your balloon go?!

Good luck! - FOSHS
