Are you a family and/or business who enjoys the annual fireworks? Please show your support this year!
You might not know that your Chamber of Commerce is responsible for raising the money each year to pay for the Friday Harbor 4th of July Fireworks. As you can imagine, the chamber doesn’t have anywhere near the budget to cover the $15,000 needed. So each year, we rely on you, the island community.
The Town of Friday Harbor, Valmark and The Port of Friday Harbor chip in, and Vic’s DriveIn is sponsoring a big drive at the restaurant (with a donation-matching challenge!)
But we need more help. Every dollar helps!
Please call 378-5240 today with a credit card or visit the chamber office with your check or cash. Our PayPal account is ([email protected].) Mailing address is P.O. Box 98.
(Note to Businesses: This year we are offering sponsorships, with all the wonderful island publicity that offers. Your contribution of $1,000 will show the island how much your business cares about this venerable island event. Please call the Chamber at 378-5240 with your ideas of how sponsoring the fireworks can boost your community-friendly business profile.)
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
