4th of July Celebration Sponsors Needed

April 19, 2011

Dear Community Friends:

The 4th of July Committee is comprised of the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce, Nevada City Chamber of Commerce & Grass Valley Downtown Association. As has been the tradition for many years, the 4th of July Committee is pleased to host the 4th of July parade which will be held in downtown Grass Valley this year. The western Nevada County community loves the hometown parade and fireworks and we want to continue to present a great show. This is a HUGE Nevada County event, however and we are asking for your support!

To assist with funding, the 4th of July Committee is seeking donations from local businesses and organizations. The cost to produce this long-standing event has increased over the years and there are many things to pay for such as rental of the fairgrounds ($6,000), the Fire Marshal’s time ($900), traffic control ($767) Fireworks ($10,000), golf carts, security, cleanup – the list goes on and on.

As you can see, it’s an expensive undertaking for us to provide a hometown parade and a safe fireworks show for our community. We understand that this year may be difficult but we need your financial help to continue the tradition.

There are a variety of packages to choose from ranging from sponsoring bands and underwriting the Porta-Potties to being a major sponsor. Please take a moment to view the 4th Sponsorship page and return the form to the Grass Valley Downtown Association office by May 1, 2011.
