Paysen’s Parties was honored to provide custom balloon decor and event styling for the Van Ginkel Impact Foundation Summer Kickoff, a family-centered community event dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and joy to children and families in Rock Valley, IA.

The foundation was created by Andrew Van Ginkel, NFL linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings, and his wife Samantha. They are Iowa natives who use their platform to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Following the devastating flooding that impacted his hometown of Rock Valley, Iowa, Andrew and his family established the Van Ginkel Impact Foundation to help families recover, support local communities, and create opportunities that bring people together through service, generosity, and memorable experiences.

The Summer Kickoff event was designed to give children the chance to simply be kids while continuing to heal from the challenges they experienced after the flood. The day featured inflatables, games, food, ice cream, and a coloring—creating an unforgettable experience for hundreds of families.

For this incredible event, Paysen’s Parties designed and installed custom balloon decor that helped transform the venue into a welcoming, high-energy celebration. From station setup and design to timeline creation, we handled the day so Andrew and Samantha could just be present and in the moment.
