Recognized
throughout the Balloon Community as an Honor for
service to the industry, the Dottie Blanchard
Spirit Award, the “DOTTIE,” is presented
yearly to a person deserving of recognition for
their efforts and dedication to the Balloon Industry.
Previous winners include industry notables that
have all been recognized for their contribution
to our industry.
The Dottie Blanchard Spirit Award, or "Dottie"
was created in honor of one of the industry’s
brightest stars. Dottie lost her life suddenly
as the result of a tragic car accident on her
way to teach at the very first Summer Balloon
Camp in 2003. The industry lost a committed, dedicated
and loving person. This award honors others who
have shown the same spirit while working in the
balloon industry. |

Nominations
for the Award are taken each year from anyone
in the industry who knows of a person deserving
of the recognition for their outstanding dedication
and service to the Balloon Community. You can
nominate someone simply by sending an email with
a short explanation (no more than 300 words) of
why you believe the person should receive the
Spirit Award. Send the email to dave@ballooncamp.com
before July 15, 2010. The committee, which meets
each year at Balloon Camp, will make a decision
on who will be honored at the Final Night Gala.
The committee is comprised of one person from
each of the industry’s various elements.
A Distributor, a Manufacturer, a Decorator, a
Twister, an Instructor, a Balloon Camp representative
and Dottie’s partner Judy Gorman.
Please take a few moments and think about who
you know that deserves recognition for the efforts
they put forth on behalf of the Balloon Industry.
Someone who unselfishly gives of himself or herself,
to help their fellow Balloonist become better
and is dedicated to making this Industry grow
and prosper. Email your nomination now and lets
tell people about those who have gone above and
beyond in support of our Industry |
