2022 nonprofit donations

Raising money is the backbone of non-profit work. Most non-profits have a fundraiser or silent auction that either needs decor or donations respectively. And we get asked daily for donations!

2021 small business support

In June 2021, the world opened up again and small businesses, (if they had made it!) were expected to be up and running as smooth as their pre-pandemic times. Yet, they were reeling from staff shortages, strained supply lines, mask mandates, and more. In essence, the life of a small businesses was s-t-r-e-s-s. We wanted to show some support and love to small businesses so we asked our community to nominate their favorite local small business that survived the pandemic and were a staple in their community. We then surprised the businesses with a balloon BURST in their company colors and read to them why they were loved. With over 200 nominations, we were able to balloon bomb 50+ Chicago businesses.

Local sourcing commitment

Art activism balloons

By printing activist sayings on balloons, we are using the balloon as a visual connector and a conversation starter. We’ve printed sayings like BLACK LIVES MATTERS, VOTE, INCREASE THE PEACE and MENTAL HEALTH FOR ALL. And then we give them to you for free to hopefully spark a conversation.
