Title Sponsor - $20,000 - SOLD OUT
Balloons Over Vermilion simply wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our Title Sponsor, the Julius W. Hegeler II Foundation. Their unwavering support helps bring this incredible event to life, creating moments of awe and joy for our entire community.
More than just lighting up the sky, their commitment ensures that It’s For the Kids is more than a tagline—it’s a mission in action. Thanks to their sponsorship, local children and families will continue to benefit from impactful programs and opportunities that make a lasting difference.
From the first balloon launch to the final glow, we are deeply grateful for their dedication to Vermilion County and beyond.
Thank you, Julius W. Hegeler II Foundation, for making this event soar!
