Balloon race for Kyle
Hi, We were wondering if you would be able to help us with a  charity event 
we are trying to run through out the country. we are doing a  fundraiser to 
raise money  to adopt a 6 year old boy from Eastern Europe  who is 
currently living in an institution. you can check for more details on the  website. 
The homestudy alone for England is in the region of £5000 with a total  cost 
of about £15000 to fetch him home. The children not adopted often do not  
survive more than a few short years. We want to help but the cost is an issue 
so  we are running the following fundraiser to help save this child and to 
help  others who wish to adopt children like him.

Balloon race for Kyle
 
We are hoping to bring home  Kyle. In order to do that we need to raise 
money..lots of it. This is what we  are planning...so please join us.
 
On the 23 July 2009 we will be  releasing balloons across the world, 
(although some organisations will release  balloons early due to school holidays 
etc)
 
Each balloon will have a  numbered ticket so we know who it belongs to. 
when the balloon is found the  finder can email, telephone, or send the ticket 
back to me. The ticket holder of  the balloon that travels furthest will 
receive a cash prize for their  group, 10% of all tickets sold...tickets are 
£2.00 each ($3.00).....so if  we raise £10.00 you will receive £1.00. If we 
raise £1000, the winning  ticket holder will receive £100 for their group etc.
Every participating school and group will keep  10% of the money they raise 
from the tickets they sell.
The winning individual and the  finder of the winning ticket will also 
receive a prize for themselves. 
Prizes will be sent to the  school, Scout/Guide group, youth club etc to 
which you belong.
Closing date for return of  balloon tickets will be 28 August. The ticket 
number from the balloon that has  travelled furthest will be announced on the 
web site on that day. The winning  organisation/person will be contacted in 
person.
 
The winning ticket will be  determined by the overall distance covered by 
the balloon, i.e., the location of  the ticket owner to the location of the 
finder, e.g., Manchester to Calais. This  means that we are able to sell 
tickets to people across the world as it is the  distance covered that we are 
measuring.
 
we are contacting schools, Scouts, Guides,  youth groups and anyone else 
who can help.   please get involved.  the more people who join us the sooner 
we can get Kyle home and help others  just like him.
thanks you
Sandra
