We Will Donate a FREE Hot Air Balloon Ride to Your Live Auction or Silent Auction Fundraiser!

The best silent auction or live auction items are hot air balloon rides!

In the 2014 fundraising season, FundraisingRides helped 1,545 non-profit organizations by providing hot air balloon rides for use in their live and silent auction fundraising events.

We donated one hot air balloon ride to every non-profit that used our offer. In total, our hot air balloon rides raised nearly $800,000 for non-profits across the country. This year, we want to double those results!

Our Appreciation to Project Sponsors

Fundraising Rides is deeply grateful for the continued support of our sponsors and partners. Their contributions help us bring charitable rides, community events, and long-term social impact initiatives to life. Thanks to their support, we can expand our programs and reach more people in need.

As digital engagement becomes essential for modern fundraising, platforms such as Watch streams make it possible for supporters to follow events in real time, participate from anywhere, and strengthen the connection between our mission and the community.

We also appreciate the involvement of creative and strategic partners like DST Agency, whose expertise in communication and digital outreach helps enhance visibility and build sustainable growth for our initiatives.

In addition, we acknowledge support from organizations across diverse industries. Contributions from partners such as Riverbelle Casino demonstrate how businesses outside the nonprofit sector can still play a meaningful role in advancing charitable causes and strengthening community-driven efforts.

To all our supporters, donors, and partners — thank you. Your engagement allows Fundraising Rides to continue developing impactful projects and delivering lasting change to the communities we serve.
