“GRMC provides numerous health services to local community members and we want to do our part to support them,” said Matt Karjalahti, RE/MAX Realty Partners real estate agent. “At this year’s Blue Jean Ball, GRMC will be auctioning several packages that focus on experiences and adventures. This hot air balloon ride is a great way to kick off the fundraiser and demonstrate the great auction items.”
The hot air balloon ride will be Saturday, Sept. 26, during the annual Fly-In/Drive-In breakfast sponsored by Lowry Flying Service and the Grinnell Optimist Club. Everyone in the community is welcome for breakfast. Tickets for the breakfast may be purchased in advance through Wes Finch Auto Plaza, Community First Credit Union, or Grinnell Optimist Club members. Come out and join in their fun-filled day!
The GRMC balloon trip will last for an hour and the RE/MAX Realty hot air balloon crew will transport participants back to Grinnell when the trip is complete.
Raffle tickets are $20 and can be purchased at The Glass Gift Box, on the first floor of the hospital, or online at bit.ly/GRMCAdventureIsHere. All funds raised will go toward the Moving at the Speed of Life comprehensive campaign to renovate the emergency department. To date, GRMC has raised nearly $3.2 million in gifts and pledges for the Moving at the Speed of Life campaign
If you don’t fly high with the balloon ride, plan to dance the night away at the 2015 Blue Jean Ball on Saturday, Oct. 17, in the Harris Center at Grinnell College. Silent auction, wine pull, and raffle begin at 7:30 p.m.; live auction begins at 8:30 p.m., and music by The Dweebs begins at 9 p.m.
