Fireworks Fundraiser
Donation protected
Lafarge has made a generous offer to the Community. They will match every dollar the community raises for this year’s fireworks show. Lafarge sent the following message:
“Lafarge understands the stress of the current pandemic has negatively impacted all of us individually and as a business community. We at Lafarge believe that as proud Americans it is our responsibility to support the community in maintaining patriotic events such as the Alpena Fourth of July fireworks display. Therefore, Lafarge will match dollar for dollar up to $12,000 to cover the costs of this year’s display and encourage all who can to support this special event that has been woven into the fabric of the Alpena community for generations.”
We don’t know if we will be able to have the show on July 4th, or a later date, but as long as we have a show this year, Lafarge has agreed to match any funding raised to meet our goal. We appreciate the support from Lafarge and the community, and we appreciate all your generous support for our businesses during this time.
The City of Alpena and Alpena Area Chamber of Commerce believe it's important for everyone to understand that the 4th of July fireworks are 100% funded by community donations. We know that many awesome local businesses in our community are in need of assistance as their operations have been limited due to COVID-19. We believe that supporting local businesses is very important and the Chamber cannot focus our usual efforts on raising funds for fireworks when so many businesses and individuals are in need of financial assistance. We would encourage all that can to patronize or donate to assist our local businesses.
If the required funding is not raised for the fireworks show, or the State Government does not allow the City to host the show, all money raised will be saved and put toward the 2021 show. All funding must be raised by May 28 in order to meet the vendors deadline.
We want to thank the community for their support of our local businesses and our organizations.
