The Angle:

The idea behind the “Great Legacy Book/Balloon Launch“ is to create a WONDERFUL, MAGICAL, MOMENT that becomes a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EVENT for everyone who participates. This moment is about living life to the fullest which is what the book "The Legacy Letters" is all about (see description below). Be a part of something bigger and join the thousands around the world who are creating a “legacy moment” in a “legacy life”— a life filled with thoughtful, wondrous, and deeply meaningful actions.

Imagine the equivalent of the "message in the bottle" except instead of a message, people will be sending a miniaturized version of "The Legacy Letters."

How to Participate

Participation is free. Starting in June people will be registering on the site, downloading a mini copy of this book, attaching it to a helium balloon and literally sending off in the air. (Kids love the last part!) The journey of these balloons will be tracked online. The goal is to provide a fun activity that brings parents closer to kids over the summer instead of being couch potatoes. It's fun, educational, for charity, and kids love to be part of creating a world record.

About "The Legacy Letters"

The five-time, national award-winning book, “The Legacy Letters,” by Carew Papritz is the only book in publishing history to win awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories. The book is told through a series of personal letters written by a father to children he would never live to meet. The letters share advice on life, love and everything in between. This back-to-basics book reminds people how to slow down again, be in the moment, and remember what is really important in life.
