Hello everyone,

It's been awhile since i've updated - really haven't had too much to share.   I will start updating more frequently when we start activelly raising funds for the 2010 show.  

I just wanted to update and let everyone know that I created a volunteer form here:  http://www.pittsburgfireworksshow.org/volunteer/     I also added a link to it in the top navigation bar.

If you or someone you may know are interested in volunteering - please fill out the form! 

Hello everyone,

We hope you caught the show last night - if not -  it was amazing!      Here is a video clip of the finale.

We also managed to raise a decent amount of money last night for next years show! I will have the final amount posted later. Still have to count and deposit all of it.

Hello everyone,  

On Tuesday Bell - A Division of Credit Unions United presented us with their matching donation.    They gave us a nice big check for $15,000!     That on top of the near 15k we had already raised at the time puts us up a little over 30k total!   

That's enough to fund this years show and 10k towards next years!   

Thank you everyone for your support.    If you can please make sure to come out to the show!  It should be a good one!

Hello everyone,

On June 30 at 10AM I will be meeting up with Gary from Bell - A division of Credit Unions United to be presented with a check for the matching portion of what we've raised. 

That gives us 3 business days to raise the remainder of the 20k.   By raising 20k on our own - Bell will match an additional 20k and we will have $40,000.00 in our fund for this year and next years shows! 

Please if you can show your support by donating.   You can donate by clicking the large 'Want to donate?' button on the right hand of the screen.    You can also mail a check to:

Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas Box 1448, Pittsburg KS 66762

Pump'n Pete's/Short Stop in Pittsburg is running a raffle for an autographed Epiphone guitar signed by Dwight Yoakum.   The proceeds of this raffle are going to the Pittsburg Fireworks display fund.  

You can pickup raffle tickets at any of Pittsburg's 3 Pump'n Pete's/Short Stop locations.

Images of the guitar are attached to this post.  
 
 

As of yesterday afternoon our fund is up to $12,575.00 not counting the Bell dollar for dollar match.  

I will get the donor list updated this afternoon hopefully.  

We are currently $7,425.00 short on our goal.   Remember if we raise 20k,  Bell will match our 20k leaving us with 40k in the fund!   That is enough money for this year and next at our current budget!     We have less then 24 days to raise $7,425.   We can do it!
