Help small community with 4th of July Celebration
Donation protected
It's been EIGHT YEARS since the last time our town has had fireworks and a festival!!!
I'm taking on a very ambitious task of Restarting the formerly known Jeannette Community Days festival, now to be called Jeannette Summer Celebration and Festival to begin this year, July 30th-31st, 2021 to begin again, an annual tradition. I'm not expecting anything huge, this first year, given the time factor, but who knows and I will absolutely grow it to once again include a celebration for the community and all surrounding communities to participate and enjoy! After what we've all been through, with Covid, this needs to be done, and we all deserve it!
As of now, we will have food, games - contests and prizes, giveaways, music, BINGO, and fireworks! I would love to have carnival rides, and will definitely have, in following years, but it may be tough to get, for this year! I am not sure about a parade being organized this year, either, but everything will depend on both PARTICIPATION and FUNDING, which is the immediate need!
I am asking EVERYONE to donate whatever and as much as they can! I am personally starting off a gofundme, with a donation of $1000 and will contribute whatever needed, to have SOMETHING for the kids and community, for a celebration, no matter how small that may end up being. My vision and hopes, are the opposite! Let's make this an amazing event, to show everyone the true Heart and Sprit of the City of Jeannette!
I will keep track of all incoming donations (the gofundme and incoming business checks and donations) and outgoing funds, on this page. I intend to be as transparent as possible!
(Btw, my name is Ty Daniels, born and raised in Jeannette. I am awaiting incorporation approval from the state for a community development nonprofit org, of which I intend and hope to be able to rebuild the city of Jeannette, and later expanding.
The past organizer, who I also want to personally thank for her help and guidance to me, Cris Lowstuter had reported dwindling volunteers. I fully intend to be in contact with ALL of the churches in the city, seeking volunteers, donations and prizes/giveaways! I have complete faith that we can all unite and make this a wonderful event for everyone in the city and surrounding communities, of which you are all invited!
The urgent need right now: I have a standing commitment from Kellner Fireworks of Butler, to do a fireworks show for us on the 31st! The minimum cost, will be $12,500. We will need half of that withing the next week or two, as down payment. I have COMPLETE FAITH that we can raise that amount and exceedingly more, in time!
I'm excited about everyone that's already been willing to help and contribute to this event! I know there are tons more out there that we need YOUR HELP to be able to reach out to! This will be the start of something once again, the city and cummunities can look forward to and enjoy, for years to come!
I am setting a LOW GOAL of $30,000 that I would like to hit asap, but by the end of the month! Let's blast that number out of the water! Any left over funds will go towards the following year, OR to other city events or parades or needs, child related, etc.
I greatly thank everyone in advance and look forward to speaking, working or meeting with you, in the near future!
