We are Forerunner Inc., the 501c3 non-profit organization that organizes and promotes the Boundary County 4th of July Celebration. It’s been an honor to serve you for the last four years. Our team is seeking donations to help us deliver another great Fourth of July celebration for Boundary County and the surrounding area!
Every dollar donated goes directly to our 4th of July efforts (nobody is taking home a check here…) and is tax deductible. This day of celebration depends entirely on donors like yourself! There are many expenses that go into putting an event like this together. These are our big-ticket items for 2025.
- Fireworks $11,000
- Entertainment $2,000
- Liability insurance $4,000
- Porta Potty rental $1,300
DID YOU KNOW?!?! 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the United States of America! We’d like to do something BIG and it’s going to take more money… (why does everything have to come down to the $$$?) If you can, we’d appreciate you giving a little extra to help us work towards next year’s goal early.

All businesses will receive a photo poster recognizing your donation to this event that you can proudly display for the public to see.
Thank you for your contribution to our community!
