Balloon Race Scholarship Committee Fundraisers
Commemorative Pins
Every year, the Balloon Race Scholarship Committee sells commemorative lapel pins to support student scholarships. In recent years, the pins have been designed by graphic design students at AACT High School. Pins are available for purchase for $5 each, and all orders are fulfilled by our committee's volunteers.

Raffle Tickets
Every year on the Wednesday before the Great Reno Balloon Race begins, our committee hosts a raffle of over 100 items donated by local businesses and other partners. The committee donates six balloon rides in the University’s sponsored balloon as part of the drawing. Community members may purchase raffle tickets for $1 each or $5 for six tickets.

Flower Cards
In partnership with Sparks Florist, BRSC sells "12 Months of Flowers" cards January through May. Cardholders may present their card once a month, for 12 consecutive months, at a Sparks Florist® retail store and receive a wrapped bouquet of fresh, seasonal flowers! Each card carries a value of $180, but it is sold for only $40! 25% of the proceeds ($10) from each card goes directly to the Balloon Race Scholarship Committee to help fund student scholarships.
