An approved supplier to the McDonald's System since 1976.

“Every child smiles when given a balloon.”

“I've been hosting LSM events for McDonald's, for both McOpCo and Licensee locations, for over 20 years. It's my personal experience that balloons make every event feel like a celebration. When people see the balloon trees full of bright, colorful balloons they know that something special is happening. Every child smiles when given a balloon. Balloons are a fun, inexpensive giveaway, whether at special events of just a quick meal at McDonald's. I feel good about using Creative Balloons because they are eco-friendly. Creative Balloons also provide fast and friendly service.”

Balloon-A-Thon®

In 1976, Ray Kroc, Founder of McDonald's®, shook the hand of Jules Pollack, the Founder of Creative Balloons Mfg. Inc., congratulating him on his great idea of developing a Balloon Inflating Character™ in the likeness of the Registered Trademark figure, Ronald McDonald®. Mr. Kroc said it reminded him of the days when he was selling multi-mixers. 


Ronald McDonald® as a Balloon Inflating Character™, is an attractive promotional vehicle that inflates, seals, and strings logo imprinted advertising balloons in 6-seconds. The sculpted vinyl head and 2-pc. vinyl costume was designed by Suzy Goodman-Pollack.


Jules Pollack introduced the concept of a Balloon-A-Thon® to McDonald's®, and the company staged a nationwide 'Balloons For Muscular Dystrophy' fundraiser for Jerry Lewis and the Kids that raised $1,000,000 for the Labor Day Telethon in 1977.
