Big Balloon Bonanza
for Sick Children
The easiest and most uplifting way to support sick children!
Big Balloon Bonanza 2024
The 2024 Big Balloon Bonanza was a great success!
Virtual balloons soared from Times Square and Sydney Opera House with the goal of reaching the furthest distance, in real-time weather conditions.Â
Thanks so much to everybody who bought a balloon or who donated to the Big Balloon Bonanza, we are very grateful.
Congratulations to all our balloon race winners and to Ellen from Dublin who won our Chappell Roan ticket draw!
Have a look to see our winners!
The Big Balloon Bonanza is our first all digital, eco friendly campaign!Â
We won’t be printing or sending out any physical mailings and we will have just one basic downloadable poster on this page. Obviously, as it’s a virtual balloon race, no burst or lost balloons can cause any harm to wildlife on land or sea. So it’s a win win for our sick children and the environment.
Embark on an online adventure in the clouds. Enter one of our virtual balloon races and see who will soar to the finish line while raising urgent funds for Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght and Connolly.Â
How it Works
1. Choose your race
Head to the race page you would like to enter your balloon in. We have one for individuals and one for groups (corporates, organisations and clubs…).
2. Buy a balloon
Create an account and purchase a balloon for yourself, a friend, or family member. Once you’ve bought your balloon, you can start customising it.
There are many ways to personalise your balloon, from colour and pattern to helium amount and thickness. Your choices will impact how well your balloon performs during the race, so choose wisely!Â
3. Watch your balloon race to the finish line!
Two week-long races will take place from 13th June to 19th June 2024. Be sure you watch the race you entered in, whether for individuals or groups!Â
Daily updates on the race’s progress will be provided on our social channels, so keep an eye out!
