BalloonShowcase™

For the first time ever, the breathtaking balloon designs created at Ballooniversity® were on display for the public to enjoy.

On the Sunday following the gala, burton + BURTON® welcomed over 4,000 people from the local Athens, GA, community to view over 400,000 balloons throughout The Classic Center. The BalloonShowcase^TM was free to the community, and all patrons were invited to donate to two local charities.

100% of the proceeds raised went directly to The Boys & Girls Clubs of Athens and Extra Special People (ESP). The amount contributed was $6,000, with a match of $6,000 from burton + BURTON®, for a total of $12,000 in donations. Each charity received a $6,000 check.
