Rainbow Ryders to Launch Special Hot Air Balloon Banner
In a heartwarming display of creativity and hope, Rainbow Ryders, the leading hot air balloon company in the Southwest, is set to unveil a unique hot air balloon banner on June 21, 2025. This exciting initiative has been developed in collaboration with the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children (ACFC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families affected by childhood cancer.
The banner design comes from the talent of a young pediatric cancer warrior's cousin, selected among numerous colorful submissions created by children supported by the ACFC. This collaboration aims to provide a platform for young artists to see their visions come to life, thus nurturing creativity while promoting awareness and support for families dealing with childhood cancer.
The event will feature a special sunrise balloon flight, where the winning artist and her family will have the opportunity to see their design crafted into a magnificent balloon banner soar through the skies above Valley. Rainbow Ryders' Director of Operations, Lindsay Mayer, expressed her excitement about this collaboration. “It's an honor to bring this young artist's vision to life and to continue our work with the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children,” Mayer said. “Her design symbolizes the strength, hope, and imagination that these children show every day.”
Chrisie Abramo, President and Founder of ACFC, also highlighted the positive impact of such initiatives, stating, “For our families facing the unimaginable, moments like these are everything.” The collaboration serves not just as a creative outlet but as a beacon of hope for children battling cancer, allowing their creativity to shine in a way that uplifts not only them but their families as well.
As part of this initiative, Rainbow Ryders is committed to expanding the “Design a Balloon” program into a quarterly campaign beyond the June event. This expansion aims to feature more children’s artwork, creating opportunities for additional young artists to share their creativity and bolster community support for families in need.
This event marks a significant moment for Rainbow Ryders, providing a vibrant illustration of how art and community spirit come together to support a noble cause. It stands testament to the power of collaboration and compassion, proving that even a simple balloon ride can make a meaningful difference in the lives of families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.
