Today is…Balloons To Heaven Day

Balloons To Heaven Day- is a day to celebrate families everywhere releasing balloons to the sky in a symbolic gesture towards ending gun violence. With the increase in awareness of gun violence in the United States, Balloons to Heaven Day is a holiday to help bring awareness to the pain and suffering that gun violence causes to American families. It’s a way for families to mourn the loss of their family members and friends instead of turning their pain to anger, they turn it into blessings and hope for a future without gun violence. People attach notes and choose the color of their balloons to represent a specific movement against gun violence. The act of releasing balloons in an act of celebration began in 1984 during the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, and it continues today with celebrations like Balloons To Heaven Day. Celebrate today by attending an event where you and your family can release balloons and mourn the loss of human lives due to gun violence.
