A Jacksonville Balloon Business Just Won a $5,300 Grant — Here’s Why It Matters

A small balloon business in Jacksonville just received a surprise that’s changing everything.

Let’s Celebrate Balloons was selected from more than 2,500 small businesses to receive a $5,300 grant — not just for growth, but for the impact it’s making in the community.

From hospital visits to milestone celebrations, this recognition highlights something bigger than balloons: connection, care, and showing up for people when it matters most.

Recognized by Fifth Third Bank

Let’s Celebrate Balloons, a Jacksonville-based boutique balloon and event design company, was selected as one of 11 small businesses to receive a $5,300 growth grant through Fifth Third Bank’s “Swap, Snap, Share” campaign.

The initiative, part of the #Love53 program, supports small businesses across a 12-state footprint. More than 2,500 businesses were entered.

“Stephanie amazed me with what she does for the community — delivering balloons to hospitals and making sure people feel seen and celebrated.”

The surprise moment took place at the Deerwood Village storefront in Jacksonville, where Stephanie received the award in front of her community.

More Than a Business

This recognition reflects something deeper than business growth.

Let’s Celebrate Balloons has become known for creating meaningful moments across Jacksonville — from birthday milestones to corporate events, and even hospital deliveries that bring hope during difficult times.

“Our goal has always been to create meaningful moments. This recognition reminds us that those moments matter.”
