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.

Although it is free to participate in the mini book launch, regular copies of the book are for sale and proceeds from those sales will go to the following charity of your choice:
The Make-a-Wish Foundation
