This cause was part of Easter Race
This unique race URL is https://ecoracing.co/cause/the-james-young-high-school-parent-council-fundraising-2120/

We are raising money for the school to help them celebrate in style the school’s 40th birthday celebrations in August 2022. The school is hoping to put on a few different activities for the pupils to celebrate this big birthday.

So, why not "Buy a Balloon for Easter rather than a chocolate egg!"? A balloon only costs £4 and you can buy one for yourself or one for a friend. Your friend will be given a code which they can then register their own balloon. You can design your own colour, pattern, text. You can even decide how thick you want the balloon and how much helium to put in it! Everything about this race is real except the balloon which is virtual and eco-friendly. The balloon race will start from Alice Springs, Australia on 17th April and last for 7 days. You will be able track your balloon online. The direction of the balloon and how fast it goes depends on the real weather forecast.

Prize for the Overall race winners
1st £500 cash.
2nd Apple Ipad.
3rd 10 lucky winners of £10 Book Tokens.



As well as eco-racing prizes, we have some local prizes. These are

1st £100 Amazon Gift Voucher donated by Sneddon Morrison Solicitors
2nd £20 Craigies Voucher donated by a parent
3rd Easter Chocolate Bouquet donated by a parent
The wooden spoon prize - a fabulous pair of bunny ears

This is a seven-day computer simulation race where everything is real except the balloon. The software uses current live weather data to determine the progress of each balloon and each entry can be tracked on Google Maps and Satellites once launched. It has no negative environmental impact on wildlife, climate change, plastic waste or litter. So BUY YOUR BALLOON NOW and help your school.

IF YOU PURCHASE A GIFT CODE, PLEASE REDEEM IT BY 12 midnight ON 16th APRIL, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE RACE.

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £700

Supporters so far: 82
