Come and join us in 2025 at the Santa Monica Pier for what may be our last One Giant Leap for Humanity “Flying Leap” Charity Events. But if you can’t make it, make a tax deductible donation or sponsor a challenged child to Fly in the Parabounce!

Since 1999, we’ve been all over the world, including the Clinton White House, the Today Show and 2002 Winter Olympics. Hundreds of events have allowed us to contribute over a million dollars to children’s causes.

At our first One Giant Leap event in 2000, filling a Parabounce balloon with helium cost about $300. Today, the cost exceeds $10,000, (yes, really), with worldwide helium supplies dwindling every year. This extreme cost increase makes it almost impossible for us to continue our operations for charitable causes. Our next event in Santa Monica, CA might be our last. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, this could be your final chance to fly in the Parabounce, or donate to help kids. 

While we may not be able to continue operations of the Parabounce for charity, we'll keep supporting kids through media production and other charitable avenues. It's been an incredible journey, and we cherish the memories we've made together. We hope to see you there and share these special moments! All donations and tickets are tax deductible.

With heartfelt thanks, 

One Giant Leap for Humanity
