Pin and ticket sellers
The Balloon Race Scholarship Committee sells commemorative pins for $5 each, and raffle tickets for $1 each or six for $5. All proceeds support our student scholarships.
This year’s drawing will be held on September 2, 2026, the week prior to the balloon races, in front of the Joe Crowley Student Union.
Buy your pins or raffle tickets online using our order form or email your order to the seller of your choice.* The form will be active until 5 p.m. on August 31, 2026. Pins will also be available for sale at the Reno Balloon Races (while supplies last).
You can also approach any of our sellers* in the drop-down below for on-campus pickup or delivery.
*All sellers accept cash or checks made out to the NSHE Board of Regents (BRSC in the memo).
