The Great Galena Balloon Race has raised over $75,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and our partners at Camp Hertko Hollow. All proceeds from the Great Galena Ballon Race as well as support from our generous sponsors make this possible.

The Great Galena Balloon Race would like to thank Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa for continuing to host our event year after year. Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is not only a scenic location, but a premier golf resort and getaway destination. The staff at Eagle Ridge are terrific partners- providing set up, logistics, planning, and equipment, to ensure that the Great Galena Balloon Race is an all around successful event. We would not be able to make this event happen without our Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa partners.

Thanks to our media sponsor the Telegraph Herald. The TH provides our programs, print ads, web ads, posters, and much more to help get the word out in the Tri-State area.

Our website is designed and hosted by Net-Smart. We thank them for their continued support of our event. Net-Smart ensures that our website is up to date and makes attending the Great Galena Balloon Race easy, with links, info, our photo gallery, even a page that tracks the Helium Balloons we launch!

Our Propane Sponsor FS Stephenson Supply Co. ensures that our Balloons and Pilots can fly for each and every race and glow during our 3 day event. Hot air balloons get their hot air from burning propane and there is no better partner in the propane business.
