Send a Smile
Goal: a Balloon Buddy to Every Resident!
EDIT: This Project was completed in the Spring of 2021- If you are interested in bringing a similar Program to your Senior Facility you can reach out to me through my contact page. Thank you!
Send some love to our local Seniors!
Lauralloons is starting a local "Send a Smile" program, focusing on seniors, in collaboration with the national #AdoptAGrandparent campaign! Our goal is to bring residents in assisted living communities a little joy and encouragement after months of being separated from their loved ones.
Consider purchasing a "balloon buddy" and we will make sure they are received by a senior citizen living in the Duluth community!
Lauralloons is working with facilities one at a time to make sure every resident receives a balloon buddy! If you would like to add your facility to our list you can contact us here.
Please note: These delivery items are not to be designated for a specific recipient, but rather delivered in a bulk order to an assisted living community and distributed among residents by the staff. Colors and design may vary.
