Hudson, Ohio Fireworks

Proud of Hudson fireworks!

The 2012 Hudson fireworks will take place Tuesday, July 3rd; Friday, July 6th would be the rain date. The Independence Day fireworks show will be on the grounds of Barlow Farm Park.

Hudson Community Foundation was pleased to once again lead the community’s fundraising efforts to keep the fireworks in Hudson. We invite you to join your friends and neighbors in our commitment to maintain our fireworks tradition and enrich our community for years to come.

Your contribution is important to preserve the fireworks in Hudson. This is an opportunity for everyone in our community to make a difference and show their pride, not only in America, but in Hudson. Through generous resident and business giving the last five years, the Fireworks Endowment Fund has made good progress; however, our goal of $500,000 remains a formidable challenge. Your contribution helps our community provide fireworks this year, and hopefully, for many years to come.

The Hudson Community Foundation appreciates any contribution to the Fireworks Endowment. You can make your tax deductable donation to HCF Fireworks Fund and mail to P.O. Box 944, Hudson, OH 44236.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

 

HUDSON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION LEADS EFFORT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR FIREWORKS

May 15, 2011 – The Hudson Community Foundation continues to spearhead efforts to fund local fireworks.
“Fourth of July fireworks, a 38-year tradition in Hudson, is only possible through the generous support of our sponsors and community residents,” said HCF Board Member and Fireworks Co-Chair Bill Sedlacek. The cost of the annual fireworks alone, not including city services, is approximately $35,000, “It’s an amazing value given to us by American Fireworks. They take great pride in putting on a fantastic show for their hometown.”

HCF has led the effort to collect donations and find sponsors for the past four years. “Our goal is to endow the event for years to come to ensure there are always fireworks to celebrate Independence Day. We need $500,000 to do that,” said Sedlacek. “Our children and our families deserve to keep this wonderful tradition.”

HCF soon will be sending letters to residents asking for donations. “We truly hope that residents will continue to be as generous as they have in the past. We all love and enjoy the fireworks. It’s worth supporting,” Sedlacek said.

In addition to donations from individuals, last year’s show sponsors were The Fortec Companies, The Burton D. Moran Foundation, University Hospitals – Hudson Health Center, The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation, Heinen’s Fine Foods, FirstMerit and North End.
