AZ Balloon Artist presents Kyle's Balloon Garden


When I first started planning Spring For A Cure last fall I contacted a balloon artist I found on craigslist. Her work was amazing and I thought I need a balloon artist to twist a few balloons for the children. She then invited me to a meeting they were having that night. We took Kyle and he had a blast. From that meeting several balloon artists graciously offered their time and talents.

I am proud to announce that the group Arizona Balloon Artists will be at Spring For A Cure. But they have a much larger vision than I did. They have created Kyle's Balloon Garden for the event. Below are Tobi's words on describing the event and their plans;

"If you have watched the new television show “Unpoppables” on TLC, you may understand what a Balloon Artist goes through on major events. We have our very own team of Balloon Artists here in Arizona and they are available for a large corporate events, weddings, and more. The team has volunteered to create one of the world’s largest balloon gardens, titled “Kyle’s Balloon Garden” to help draw attention to this year’s Spring for a Cure! Tobi, with AZ Balloon Artists, has said that the garden will contain well over 5000 balloons and will have over 170 man hours into this project. To ensure that the children can enjoy the garden to the fullest, each segment of the garden was designed as a centerpiece that can be purchased with a donation of $20."

They will also have all kinds of flowers and little critters available for donations of $1-$3 so that anyone can take a wonderful piece of this amazing garden.

Check out their website at http://www.azballoonartists.blogspot.com/ for amazing pictures and more information about this talented group of balloon artists.

  3. This is Tobi with AZ Balloon Artists! The balloon garden is seeing it's first little flowers poke their heads out of the ground and we hear that the 5000 balloons quoted for the garden has now close to doubled! We have 15-20 volunteers coming in on Friday, some from Tuscon too! We hope Kyle and his friends love the garden!

  4. We missed the full garden coming toward the end, but what we saw was still pretty amazing. Four very talented artists and a good number of helpful volunteers have something to be proud of!!
