About the Host

Owner of Wisconsin Balloon Decor, Sara Meyer (pictured left) attended the first-ever Big Balloon Build US in Vincennes, Indiana in March 2022 and immediately wanted to bring this event to her local community of Lake Geneva, WI. 

"As a balloon business owner, it was an unbelievable experience, to work alongside 60 of my peers from all over the world to create an installation of this magnitude! Now, to be able to do it all again, but in my community, it's a dream! I can't wait to see what impact we have!"

About the Charity

Inspiration Ministries is a place where our residents can grow, work, mature in their faith, and lead productive, joy-filled lives. We’ve enriched the lives of adults with disabilities who call IM home for more than 70 years.

 

Inspired is a premium neighborhood coffee shop in downtown Lake Geneva, employing people with disabilities. They’re celebrated, job trained, coached and, over time, placed into a fully integrated work setting.

100% of proceeds will go directly to

IM and Inspired.
