Raising cash by eating cakes for the British Heart Foundation

By , February 26, 2010 4:00 pm

It’s the British Heat Foundation’s (BHF) Wear Red Day and Virgin Balloon Flights have decided to get stuck in in the best way we know how…eating!  And wearing red. The office looks decidedly corporate this morning and if anyone walked in they’d think we’d gone a little Virgin crazy, but wait, this very public display of red is for an altogether different reason. Today we’re we’re raising money for Red for Heart which is the British Heart Foundation’s campaign to raise money for heart disease.  The BHF’s vision is:

Within a generation, we will create a world where people do not die prematurely of heart disease. We will achieve this through our pioneering researchour vital prevention activity and by ensuring quality care and support for people living with heart disease. We need you to share our vision because, together, we really can beat heart disease.

And to help them achieve this we’ve had a day of eating cakes beautifully designed and baked by Simply Love Cupcakes, quizzes and bingo.

We hope that the money we raised helps the BHF achieve their vision and wish the Foundation every success with future campaigns.

Up, up and away…

The 2010 hot air ballooning season is now under way and that’s not the only thing.

The Virgin Balloon Flights Blog has also just launched and promises to keep us very busy whilst we bring all things ballooning to you, whatever the weather.

Our company was founded over 22 years ago and some of our pilots have been flying hot air balloons for over 30 years, having hundreds of thousands of flying hours between them, so yes, we have TONS of ballooning talk to talk.
