UPCOMING EVENTS
Habitat for Humanity's "Home by Midnight" Event
When: May 3, 2025

For this fundraiser, “black-tie elegance meets the grit of hammers and hard hats, representing the transformation of hard work into something beautiful.” The balloons, copy writing, and itinerary for this event are next level. AND all proceeds support the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home!
Staff Appreciation Station!!
When: June 2025
Where: EVERYWHERE!
We love to see organizations celebrating their staff, volunteers, and clients. And that’s exactly what’s happening in May. Stay tuned for pics of appreciation installations for these The Regina Public Library, the U of R social work faculty, and ISC (Information Services Corporation.)
Grad Season

Where: EVERYWHERE!
Graduation orders are coming in HOT! Get your June orders in if you haven’t already! We’ll be blacking out June dates as we reach capacity. Graduating without balloons is just walking across a stage in funny hat…
COMMUNITY FIRST, ALWAYS
The Regina 25!
On April 10, Economic Development Regina hosted its first annual Regina 25 event, celebrating local leaders. Out of over 150 nominations, these 25 leaders make our community stronger everyday, and we’re thrilled to see events like this recognizing this skill, kindness, and grit.
