Annual Fundraising Events

Since 2010, Children’s Smile Center’s largest and signature annual fundraiser has been the annual Hot-Air Balloon Glow, also known as GLOW. This year's event happens Friday, June 19, 2026, at the Finley River Park in downtown Ozark, Missouri. GLOW is held on the grounds of the two-day Sertoma Duck Race Festival and is free to the public. Several hot-air balloons will inflate at dusk providing an amazing light display against the contrast of the nighttime sky. Balloons are tethered to the ground and do not take flight so attendees can enjoy a 60-to-90-minute light show, pending weather and wind speeds. All attendees can see the colorful hot-air balloons on display at night, so bring your camera! For those who provide corporate sponsorships, you and your guest(s) will enjoy the VIP Experience, including a private catered dinner on the grounds with the pilots and their crew, as well as a private opportunity for photos and pilot interaction before the crowd of many thousands are allowed to come in the balloon field.
