Following the success of last year’s race, Heptonstall School PFA would like to invite you to take part in our 2nd VIRTUAL Balloon Race! A spooky Halloween spectacular starting from Dracula’s castle in Romania! This fundraising event is virtual, so environmentally friendly with absolutely no risk to wildlife whatsoever!

The race sets off from Dracula's castle in Romania and is a seven-day computer simulated race. The direction and distance balloons fly in that week is determined not only by the current weather conditions but also on the way you customise your balloon. Each virtual balloon costs just £3 and you can personalise each one by changing its name, colour, shape, pattern and even the amount of helium in it. You can alter your balloon’s parameters at any time to increase your chance of winning and once the race begins each entry can be tracked on Google Maps via the website. The winner of the race is the balloon that’s flown the furthest in any direction.

The National Prizes for all charities joining this race are:
* 1st: £500 cash prize
* 2nd: Apple iPad
* 10 x £10 book tokens

There will also be three top prizes exclusively for the three furthest flying Heptonstall Balloons:
* 1st: £15
* 2nd: £10
* 3rd: £5

Buy your balloons by SATURDAY 30th OCTOBER 2021. The 7-day simulation race goes live at noon on SUNDAY 31st OCTOBER 2021.

The most recent Covid-19 restrictions have now put all our face to face events on hold for the foreseeable future and indeed the cancellation of our Halloween Disco has resulted in us being left out of pocket. In addition, we are desperately trying to raise much needed additional funds in order to purchase a new large piece of playground equipment. Consequently, every balloon purchased really will get us closer to our goal.

You do not have to be affiliated with the school in order to purchase a balloon so we would very much appreciate you sharing our virtual balloon race with as many friends and family members that you can (you can even gift balloons!) Thank you all for your ongoing support for our school fundraising and good luck!

Our fundraising target is: £350

Gross monies raised so far: £174

Supporters so far: 17
