QUAD CITIES BALLOON FESTIVAL
September 22 - 23, 2017
In addition to the food donations that are made in lieu of admission, proceeds from the annual QC Balloon Festival are used to support the River Bend Foodbank Backpack Program.
The Backpack Program strives to ensure that children don't go hungry over the weekend when there are no school meals for them to rely upon. The program serves approximately 2,100 children in the Quad Cities area.
Every Friday during the entire school year children participating in the Backpack Program receive free, nutritious food which they can take home in their backpacks and easily prepare at home.
The QUAD CITIES BALLOON FESTIVAL would not be possible without the support of
its sponsors.
