Inflatable Archway Helps the MS Society Raise Funds & Awareness

National MS Society Mid Florida's Inflatable Arch at Fundraising EventMultiple Sclerosis Society Uses Inflatable Archway in Two Annual Events

Every year, the MS Society of Mid-Florida hosts two events: Bike MS and Walk MS. As successful as these races have been, the Society felt they needed a way to hype up the crowds, participants and sponsors. With a bit of help from Landmark Creations, they did just that!

According to Heather Carelli, Development Coordinator, "Bike MS is our largest event. It is a fully supported two-day ride where participants can choose between a 50-, 75- or 100-mile route connecting them to thousands of racers who are riding with the same passion: to end multiple sclerosis."

But that's not all. In addition to Bike MS, this chapter also hosts Walk MS. "Walk MS is a simple, but incredibly powerful way for individuals and families to share in the hope for the future. So far in 2012, the Mid-Florida chapter has organized eight MS Walk events throughout the mid-Florida region."

Now, at every race this chapter hosts, you'll find an inflatable archway. Fully branded and offering plenty of room for sponsor banners, this bright orange inflatable arch clearly marks the start and finish lines of the event. When looped courses are used, it only takes one arch to handle both duties.

Thanks to its easy inflation and deflation, and the fact that it packs, ships or stores with ease, the Society can make quick work of moving the arch from place to place.

Why Landmark? It just so happens that another MS chapter purchased an inflatable archway from us and referred Heather. We were happy to add her to the ever-growing list of nonprofits we build custom arches for every year.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"The speed of production was remarkable. We now have eight Hot Stuff balloons that will travel all over the USA to invite people to try our great-tasting pizza."

- B. Eble, Hot Stuff Foods

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked.  We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"Since they were purchased, these Sonic areas have attracted a great deal of attention when using the cup at the store or at special events in the community. [...] You have been excellent to do business with, always letting us know about any special deals and shipping the items quickly so we can start putting them to work. I appreciate your attention to our group of Sonics and for handling your business in a very professional manner, always delivering any information I need when making a decision. Here is a special thanks, with a "cherry on top."

- Mason-Harrison, Jarrard Enterprises

"The Adventure Colon is so rewarding for our organization. Everyone that walks through it is just in awe and learn so much when we guide them through it."

- Oneyda Cuevas, Hope Through Grace, Inc.

"We usually have to keep the arch up for at least 30 minutes after our races since so many people want to get their photos taken with it!"

- Art Boulet, Muddy Monk

“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company
