Balloon Initiative Gives Communities A Lift

The Balloon Council of America has announced the winners of its #LiftUpSomebody campaign, which was held throughout September to celebrate International Balloon Month 2017.

The goal of the campaign was to inspire people to ‘lift up’ members of their community using balloons to bring a smile to someone’s face and then share these acts on social media.

More than 70 companies registered to participate, and the hashtags #LiftUpSomebody and #BeBalloonSmart appeared all over Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, helping to spread the message about the positive power of balloons and Smart Balloon Practices.

“Thank you to everyone who submitted so many wonderful posts, tweets and photos,” said a council spokesperson, “which you can see by visiting Instagram and typing #LiftUpSomebody in the search bar, or visiting our Facebook page or website.”

The 2017 Winners are:

Best Community Outreach

  • American Gas Products (AGP) for their Back-to-School Smart Balloon Practices Public Outreach Campaign. They educated students about Smart Balloon Practices, taught about the dangers of inhaling Helium and gave out hundreds of weighted balloons, Faraday stickers and free school supplies.

  • Aerial Bouquets Balloons & Floral Accessories for multiple postings in different venues promoting the campaign online and in the community.
