What is a virtual balloon race?
A virtual ballon race is a hugely entertaining Internet game that can raise a lot of money for your chosen charity or organisation. Importantly, as the balloons only exist in a “virtual world”, they are 100% environmentally friendly and will not endanger any birds or other wildlife. To raise funds you and your co-organisers must sell as many balloons as possible to friends, family and colleagues. These people will buy balloons to help your cause and hopefully win a nice prize if they win. There is no limit on balloon sales so race as many balloons as you want. The whole race process takes around 8 weeks. Try to acquire some great prizes that will motivate people to buy as many balloons as possible. There is a 5 week selling period followed by a 7 day race. Once the race has finished there is a 14 day post race period which should be enough time to comminucate with everyone who took part and announce the winner. Each race needs a start city such as London or Paris. You can also specify
