Wisconsin Auto Club. The Great Galena Balloon Race itself will also take place Saturday night, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Finally on Sunday, at 6 a.m., there will be one last Crack of Dawn balloon race, allowing spectators one last chance to see all the balloons in their natural airborne habitat.

The Great Galena Balloon Race originated in 2002 when organizer and Galena On The Fly owner Andy Williams learned his then three-year-old son Cooper was diag- nosed with Juvenile Diabetes. “As a parent you immedi- ately become submerged in educating yourself on the subject and from there we discovered what a real need for help this organization needed,” said Williams.

Partnering with Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa, organizers have created a signature event for the Galena Territory and a great fundraiser for JDRF. “Since we have been holding this event we have raised over $100,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation,” Williams explains. “If you’ve never attended a hot air balloon extravaganza, this is one of the more unique family activities you’ll ever run across.

Already, the multiple partnerships appear to be realizing benefits beyond what some might have imagined. Being located in what promises to be Dubuque’s hottest new (and yet historic) neighborhood will bring greater visibility to each program, which has the potential to be translated into greater fundraising efforts and volunteer recruitment – essential aspects of non-profit sustainability. In exchange, those partners bring an excitement and vibrancy to the community-building aspects of the CARADCO project and broader Millwork District revitalization effort.
