Friends of Plymtree School is joining in the Eco-Balloon Race around Istanbul this Easter!

*Please note this was originally scheduled to be around Jerusalem, but Eco Racing have changed the destination.*

This year has been a strange year for fundraising and we have had to look at different ways to run virtual events. We love the idea of an eco-balloon race, effectively a virtual balloon race. Don't worry, no real balloons will be released!

Buy as many balloons as you like - you can even gift someone a balloon! Each balloon is £3.00 and FOPS will receive a percentage of the money raised. Login and customise your balloons. You can change the helium content and rubber thickness of your balloon to try and make yours more dynamic!

The race will start at 12pm on 4th April 2021 and will run for 7 days. Once the race has started you can login and see how your balloon is getting on - this works on real weather data and some balloons may burst or go off course along the way!

Eco Racing prizes are as follows:

1st - £500 cash
2nd - Apple iPad
The next ten places win a £10 book voucher

As this is a public race and any charity can sell balloons, we have decided to add our own FOPS prizes. The balloons bought via the FOPS cause page and coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd within our cause will each win an Easter-themed prize!

Please make sure you view Eco-Racing's full terms and conditions here: https://ecoracing.co/site/page?view=terms

We hope you enjoy taking part in our eco-balloon race around Istanbul this Easter!

Our fundraising target is: £200

Gross monies raised so far: £306

Supporters so far: 33
