Celebrating 60 Years of Reading Is Fundamental with Balloon Decor
Some milestones deserve a celebration worthy of the legacy behind them. When Reading Is Fundamental marked 60 years of putting books in children's hands, we were honored to help make the moment special — with a custom organic balloon arch and columns built for the occasion.

60 Years of Getting Kids Reading
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) is the oldest and largest nonprofit children's literacy organization in the United States. For six decades, RIF has worked to put books into the hands of children and inspire a lifelong love of reading — a mission that has touched millions of young lives across the country.
In 2026, RIF celebrates its 60th anniversary — a remarkable milestone marking sixty years of impact. An achievement like that calls for a celebration with real presence, and we were proud to bring the decor to life.
A celebration 60 years in the making.

At the heart of the celebration was a custom organic balloon arch — a free-flowing, modern design in varied balloon sizes that made an instant statement. An organic arch brings a sense of movement and celebration that a standard arch can't, and it's one of our most-requested pieces for milestone events like this one.

Columns to Complete the Look
We paired the arch with balloon columns to frame the space and tie the whole celebration together. Columns are a versatile complement to an arch — they mark entrances, define areas, and add height and repetition that make an event feel fully decorated and cohesive.
