Chennai will have its first Water Balloon Fight in July. The event will be held at the Thoraipakkam Government Higher Secondary School’s four acre football field. Over 40,000 water balloons will be laid out for participants.
The money spent to throw the balloons will help an underprivileged child get some playtime. The event is being organised by the NGO Prayag. An official of Prayag said, This event is a fundraiser for kids who want to pursue dreams beyond academics, like dance, karate or guitar lessons. We have raised funds for over 9,000 children across Tamil Nadu in the last three years, through events such as marathons and concerts. But this time, we wanted to do something different. I guess all those YouTube videos of water balloon fights abroad gave me this idea. The next step was to give it a test run on a friend’s terrace. Imagine five youngsters and 100 water balloons. Clearly the experience got a thumbs up. And there’s only one rule. Do not aim for the face, or you may get booted out with a splash. And there’s no limit to the number of balloons. Pick up as many as you can handle.
