Welcome to The Friends of Farnborough Hill’s first-ever Virtual Balloon Race – we’d love you to take part in our Back to School fundraiser! (NB This balloon race is virtual ... so totally environmentally friendly and there is no risk to wildlife!!).

Star Prizes (for all charities joining in this race):
1st - £500 cash prize
2nd - iPad
And 10 x £10 book tokens

The Friends of Farnborough Hill will also be awarding £50 cash to the first FH balloon, £25 Pizza Express voucher for 2nd FH balloon and £10 Amazon voucher for the 3rd FH balloon.
Click the blue bar below to buy as many balloons as you like. Each balloon costs £3. You can name and customise every balloon you buy. You can also alter your balloon’s parameters at any time to increase your chance of winning. Buy your balloon/s by Sunday 13th September.
As soon as the race goes live you can watch on Google Maps as they all leave Red Square and fly across Moscow and to wherever the wind takes them! The 7-day computer simulation race starts on 14th September at midday, and the software uses current live weather data to determine the progress of each virtual balloon. You can buy as many balloons as you want to increase your chances of winning! Every balloon you buy will make a difference! We will update the leader board as the race goes on.

Due to Covid-19 we sadly had to cancel all the events that were planned for the end of the school year 2019-20. Whilst we fully appreciate and understand that this is a very difficult time for many, we do hope you will join in to help us start fundraising for the new school year 2020-21. Last year The Friends of Farnborough Hill were able to provide the PE department with their very own branded PE gazebo and provided the school with some wonderful branded gazebos for use at school events. We have also been able to provide some more lovely wooden benches at the top of the hill for the girls to use at their break times. All the money raised by The Friends of Farnborough Hill is used to enhance the girl’s enjoyment of being at the school.

If you could share this event with your family and friends, we would really appreciate it.
Our target is to sell 100 balloons - please help us achieve this!

Our fundraising target is: £300

Gross monies raised so far: £1236

Supporters so far: 122
