Cleveland and United Way recently had a special fund-raising event where they released 1.5 millions balloons.  Here are a couple of pictures from the event.  4951

They had hoped that the balloons would travel high and far away, but a rain storm hit soon after they released the balloons and kept that from happening.  4951

What were they trying to raise money for? Sucks it had to rain on their big day. That would have been a spectacular sight. 4951

@bp2018:  I assume it was fund-raising for the United Way.  Yes, I would have liked to see that as well!They had rigged up a large horizontal net.  The people inflating the balloons all sat under the net and just released the balloons once inflated.  The net ended up holding a small mountain of balloons.  They were afraid the approaching rain storm would tear the net and release the balloons, so they released them before the storm hit.  Still a very impressive sight!

@WskyTngoFxtrt:
I was thinking about how much helium that took. The largest helium reserves in the world is right here in texas, most is kept for medical purposes. We had a hell of a time and would sometimes go a couple of weeks waiting for 1 tank of helium.

Very pretty but terrible for the environment and the birds and marine animals who will accidentally eat those balloons and die. Emoticon 4951

@WskyTngoFxtrt: They wete hoping the balloons would disperse in a large area, but Cleveland ended up with a mess.
