Light the Spark Campaign

Funding the Kentwood, MI 4th of July Celebration

The Kentwood Parks and Recreation Department and the Kentwood Jaycees have teamed for this exciting campaign to help bring a great 4th of July celebration to Kentwood. We are asking for your support to raise funds for the 4th of July Fireworks and events surrounding the celebration.

· Spectacular Fireworks Show

· 5K Run
· Parade
· All-You Can Eat Pancake Breakfast
· Family friendly carnival held throughout evening event
· Music & Entertainment for all ages

We're not asking that a few people give a lot of money, we would rather see lots of people give $5$20 to help us achieve this goal. If everyone were to give $20 we would need 750 people to donate. However, we would greatly appreciate whatever you can give to support this great cause.

Would you like to support the celebration in a different way? You can participate in any of the following events:
