We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with the Robin Hood Foundation year after year to help transform their annual benefit gala into something truly unforgettable. From massive inflatable replicas of NYC’s iconic landmarks to inflatable clouds, our custom inflatables help bring their bold creative themes to life.
For the past few years, Inflatable Design Group has worked alongside the Robin Hood Foundation to create custom inflatables for their annual fundraising benefit — one of the biggest nights in NYC’s nonprofit world. Held at the Javits Center, this event brings together big names, big talent, and even bigger ideas. We’re always excited (and honored) to be part of the transformation.
Each year, the Robin Hood team comes to us with a brand-new theme — and each year, our crew gets to work brainstorming how we can bring it all to life with inflatables. From floating inflatable clouds to inflatable replicas of some of NYC’s iconic symbols, we have helped fill the space with immersive, eye-catching moments that people remember long after the night is over.
In 2023, guests walked into the venue and were immediately immersed into an atmosphere filled with inflatable replicas of some of New York City’s iconic symbols including a giant inflatable pigeon, the Chrysler building with a giant hot dog stuck on top, the Empire State Building and more. In 2024, the theme was “sky’s the limit”, so IDG’s team manufactured soft, glowing inflatable clouds that floated above the crowd and served as a DJ booth, setting the mood for the event. In 2025, the vibe shifted again and was all about sports. IDG’s inflatable sports props (basketball, baseball, baseball glove, football on a tee, and more) helped transform the Javits Center in to a field of dreams.
All of the inflatables we made were custom-designed, made to fit the event’s exact needs, and built to be easy to install, take down, and reuse. Our team worked closely with event designers to match colors, scale, and creative goals.
The end result? Show-stopping visuals that help Robin Hood set the tone for a powerful night of giving back. If you’re planning a gala or high-impact event and want to do something different, we’d love to help bring your vision to life with custom event inflatables.
