Knoxville, Tennessee: (September 2013)

The Bingham Group and Hiwassee College are proud to announce the success of the Celebration of H.O.P.E. Balloon Festival that took place on Hiwassee College’s campus on September 28th. The event that featured 11 hot air balloons, live music, carnival style food and games, and a balloon glow, was a success as it drew thousands of locals and visitors to the college’s main campus in Madisonville, Tennessee. The charity event benefitted Hiwassee H.O.P.E., a new program that helps former foster children excel as they enter both college and life. Owner and editor of The Bingham Group and Monroe Life Magazine, Lisa Bingham, was thrilled with the outcome of the event and said that she is already “looking forward to years of balloon festivals helping worthy causes in Monroe County.”
