Meet the Family
Rise Up Balloons is a family owned and operated company. Tracey Wolf started Rise Up Balloons to be able to provide the opportunity for her children to pursue their passions. Now young adults, you may have met Lexi and Jimmy during their teen years when they worked for the family business to save money for college. Gary, Tracey’s husband of more than 25 years, helps Tracey with supply runs and building the necessary equipment to make your balloon displays look incredible.
Originally, it was Tracey’s intention to provide beautiful balloon displays. for showrooms, parties, and events. But, like any good business owner, Tracey listened to the requests that she was getting from customers and began to expand her offerings to include outdoor balloons, flags, marquee numbers, and backdrops. When the COVID pandemic hit, Tracey looked for ways to pivot the family business in order to survive the pandemic. It was during this time that she began to sell party supplies, launched DIY balloon kits made with high quality decorator latex, and then began offering yard greetings.
Rise Up Balloons was founded during a mission trip to Gulf Shores in 2015. This is why Acts 26:16 is on the back of the Rise Up Balloons uniform. Rise Up has been an answer to the Wolf’s prayers not only to provide for their family but also to spread the good news of Christ’s salvation to others.
