Sponsor A Balloon

 

 You could be up, up and hopefully far away as a winning sponsor in one of our annual ASBAH balloon races.

For a small cost, which goes to help support people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, you can back a balloon to travel the furthest in one of our 10 races each year.

The winning balloon will win the sponsor a case of champagne!

But you’d better have the wind at your backs – previous winners’ balloons have made it to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Thank you for your help, last year we made over 5,000 home visits and our community advisers are an invaluable real lifeline to the 15,000 babies, children and young people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus in the UK and their families.

"As a successful property development company it is good to be able to put something back into the community.  Asbah's balloon races are a simple way of doing this and good fun, wondering how far our balloons will travel. It's not about winning the champagne prize, but knowing that we are helping others, and our staff and customers can see how we are helping such a worthwhile charity!"  Testimonial from Paul Roberts at Paul Roberts Associates
