Hello, from the organizers/promoters of the Boundary County Fourth of July Celebration! Our team is seeking donors to help us deliver another great firework display for Boundary County and the surrounding area.
Forerunner Inc is the 501c3 non-profit organization that handles our finances. Every dollar donated goes directly to our Fourth of July efforts and is tax deductible. We receive no public funding, so this day of celebration depends entirely on donors like yourself! For the 2024 season, we need funds to cover:
- $2,000 in hardware (audio box, cables, igniters etc)
- Maintain our fireworks budget of ~$10,000
- Insurance rate of ~$3,500 for the last few years, we anticipate the same this year
- Porta Potty rental $1,100
- Total fundraising goal of $17,100 to cover any miscellaneous expenses that arise
This celebration continues to grow and we are excited to be providing another great day of family friendly fun. Similar to last year, we will have a parade followed by an evening of entertainment, food and games leading up to the fireworks display at dark.
We have several ways for you to donate. If there is something else more convenient for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
