People and businesses like YOU can help be responsible for bringing a balloon to Billings.
Balloon pilots have many expenses and most fly as a hobby. Some of these expenses include insurance, fuel, and lodging. Even after sponsorships, some pilots will still have out-of-pocket expenses to visit these types of events.
We view sponsorships as a win-win for everyone! You gain advertising for your business, the pilots cover their expenses and visit Big Sky Country, and, most importantly, the community can enjoy a free one-of-a-kind event!
