Procrastinator Ideas for Your Fundraiser

It seems with the fall being upon us once again, more of our philanthropy events are taking place around South Florida. Every organization from the Boys and Girls club to the local churches are planning their yearly events. Many of us busy bees and procrastinators forget the entertainment till last. In this blog, we dedicate our expert advice to conjure up some ideas even if you’re a last minute planner. Read on!

Bounce houses are obviously a favorite past time for all ages. Today’s BH’s have more to offer than the moonwalks of yesterday. It’s important to know the square footage when reserving your BH with any vendor. The sqft gives them the opportunity to offer a great deal with the correct size.

If you have a more selected age group that’s older, consider one of the obstacle courses for your guests. You can charge the participants a dollar a fight and command the audience betting on the winner. Request local business co-op the event and donate a prize for the donation. Great way to build awareness of the event along with raising funds.

If this is a family event, strong games can be fun. Rock climbing is a favored feature for many of the younger generation.

Food vendors can be expensive. If you’re looking to offer food at your charity event, keep in mind that you can cook with our appliance rentals such as hot dog griller and cotton candy machine. South Florida Bounce has one of the biggest selections of food prep tools.

When you live in a place such as South Florida waterslides are extremely popular. With the perfect weather temperatures year around, a waterslide rental can be ideal whether your event is planned for July or December!

We’ve seen a lot of rentals for October with big races such as Cure for Cancer. If your event is a 5K marathon, we can’t suggest to you more how great waterslides are. Many of these races are family affairs; kids love to participate too. Now, watching dad run a marathon is more exciting for both fathers and children.

No matter if you wait until the last hour to throw your shin-dig together or you’re someone who’s run out of time, our office staff can help you schedule the perfect entertainment in town.

We’re here to help!

TV’s Influence on Bounce Houses

Shows such as Wipeout and American Ninja Warrior have stolen the hearts of both athletes and enthusiasts throughout the country. Long after shows like these are gone, another form of competing will appear. These shows have great influence on the inflatable rental business since so many people love the obstacle course themes. Not only are these a great way to entertain your guests, they’re an excellent resource for aerobics and cardio activity making them the ideal athletic pastime. Take a look at this blog to learn more.
The physical and mental limits are tested on shows such as Spartan Race where the contestants test their agility by participating in this intense obstacle course. They even have a kids race where children compete to finish the race. The kids set goals and then perform by running, jumping and crawling through mud. Sounds like every day, huh? The Spartan Race is a great way for kids to get into shape and gain self-esteem.
Don’t flip through the channels too fast, or you might miss it! OCR.tv is a new site that offers several obstacle course races for you to become familiar. Err on caution as they take obstacle courses seriously on this site. Man-made waterslides, rope climbing and plenty of crawling is what you’ll catch as these mega-athletes compete.
“Wipeout” stole the hearts of the nation when it was first introduced in 2008. Since its inception people have been entertained by watching people dodge giant orbs balls and running all kinds of challenging courses. Our Wipeout Bounce Course offers a similar challenge. The ABC show is undoubtedly missed since its completion in 2014.
Of course, NBC got on board with American Ninja Warrior which proves to be a big hit today. The sports entertainment business continues to delight viewers in South Florida across the US. A spin off of the Japanese show “Sasuke”, this is show where athletes of all types compete to complete the many challenges of the obstacle course to the finish line.
With all the craze going on with these shows it’s pretty safe to assume we enjoy watching the obstacle course activity. The other point to make is that these courses are for strengthening and showing ones’ agility. No matter what the age, or the athletic level this type of sports entertainment is for certain, we love to watch.

Bounce House Cleanliness and Safety

Bounce House Cleanliness and Safety

Want to rent a fresh and clean bounce house for your next party in Boca, Pompano, Broward or Palm Beach? Read on… 

The next time you look into renting a bounce house for your party or your event,  ask the company what they do to ensure the unit is clean and sanitized.  Many companies claim to have the cleanest attractions. We take extra precaution after every rental.  We do this first by sweeping, then vacuuming finish with soap and water and disinfectant.

The disinfectant that we use is a non-toxic cleaner.  It’s important to wash with Matt-Clean or Simple Green.  The it’s disinfected with Lysol or Clorox.  We make every effort to give the surface a complete scrub and pay attention to detail when it comes to our vinyl playhouses.   

The bounce house needs to have all windows, seems, and any exposed material be thoroughly wiped down with the disinfectant.  It’s recommended to offer hand sanitizer to your children before and after they enter the interior of dry bounce houses.

The bounce house should look clean and new.  If it looks faded with a lot of scuff marks, it’s possible the material is old.  What kid wants a dingy looking unit in his front yard?

Keeping our customers happy is important to us.  But what’s more, important is you and your child’s safety.  An attendant may need to be present for larger units.  It’s important that a bounce house company offers enough staff to be present to spot children from falling over the edges.  Children should never be unattended while playing and enjoying these attractions. 

The other issue with safety is proper tie downs and equipment when securing the unit to the ground.  Last summer the bounce house that became airborne during a water spout on a Fort Lauderdale beach wasn’t securely tightened.  It’s not recommended to allow children to use these inflatables during inclement weather.  We tell that parents don’t allow this either, there are more concerns such as lightning that can be of danger. 

When it comes to your safety and well-being, we do our best always to put our clients first.
