Mission Statement
Reach for the Stars Hot Air Balloon Foundation is a California non-profit corporation based in Riverside County and is recognized by the IRS as a federal 501c3 corporation. Our mission is to share the joy and excitement of hot air ballooning with all people, especially those with physical challenges.
Description
Our unique, easy-entry custom baskets allow people with limited mobility, as well as wheelchair users, to experience a tethered ride or a traditional flight.
With balloons ranging from our brand new 130 foot tall Special Shape Balloon to our one person Cloudhopper that straps on like a backpack, we can offer a wide range of services including traditional flights, tethered flights, educational booths and programs, nights glows, static inflations and walk-in events.
The foundation seeks to have the balloon experience available to community events, camps, balloon festivals, organizations and corporations as well as to individuals wanting a private flight. As one of only a handful of wheelchair accessible hot air balloons in the entire U.S., and the only one operating as a non-profit, Reach for the Stars is a very special entity that can provide a unique life experience for people with limited mobility.
