7 Days, $15,907.00 to the 2013 goal. TONIGHT is the DINNER FUNDRAISER

We are just 7 days from the 2013 collection deadline. Our 2013 goal was to raise $30,000.00 before the final Friday in May (the date set by the Town Administration for when the funds must be donated for the event).

Right now we are still $15,907.00 short.

TONIGHT Thursday May 23rd is the Dinner Fundraiser.

We will also be collecting over this weekend (weather permitting) at the Landfill, Recycling Center and at Stop and Shop.

Next week is the final week of collections and we’ll be at Dunkin Donuts during the morning rush.

At this point it is highly unlikely we are going to hit our targets and save the event for 2013.

But until 5PM on Friday May 31st we are going to keep at it.

Please come to the Dinner Fundraiser – you’re going to eat well, have fun, and enjoy some really good music.

And you never know, maybe with some goodwill and a few deep pockets, perhaps the show can be saved after all.

See you tonight!

8 Days, $16,207.00 to the 2013 goal. TOMORROW is the DINNER FUNDRAISER

Four weeks to go - $20,000.00 to the goal

Good morning Wallingford.

I wanted to update everyone as to our current status and let people know that the push is on.

I want to start of by expressing my personal thanks once again for your past support to the Wallingford Fireworks Fund and the Wallingford 4^th of July Independence Day Celebration and for all the donations that have been made so far over the past 60 days for 2013.

There are just 27 days left as of today (May 3rd) and we still need to raise an additional $20,000.00 for the 2013 fundraising campaign.

While we are behind in the effort to date, we are not through.

We still have 27 days and we can get this done by May 31st (the last Friday in May, per the Mayor’s timeline for when the funds are due). The worst case scenario is that we miss the needed donation amount to the town and the show will not occur and we’ll push the funds into 2014.

I know Wallingford better than this - we'll do it. We need the additional donations over the remaining weeks but we are going to keep collecting for them and Wallingford will keep giving as they always do.

Saturday May 4th Wayne and I will be out at the Landfill and the Recyclnig Center from 8AM to about noon; please consider stopping by with your donation.

Your donations have always been critical but never more than this year; the long winter hampered our March fundraising efforts. We did play a little catch up in April and are now at just about $10,000.00 even. Given just that and averaging forward over the remaining 27 days, we will fall short by about $15,000.00 unless the mail in donations make-up the difference.

We're going to do it because I know Wallingford residents - we will not let this event fail.

You can also donate below via PAYPAL if you choose.

We have advertising rates for our 2013 program guide available as well as formal sponsorship of the 2013 event at varying levels; if you or anyone you know can and wish to support us at those levels please drop me an email at Jason@Zandri.net and I will forward you the information.

The 2013 Sponsor Book will be handed out at ALL fundraising events (after first printing planned for the second week of May), this includes the annual dinner fundraiser and any other events we'll be having until the July 4th fireworks show. (If there are still copies remaining for Celebrate Wallingford 2013 we'll hand them out there as well).

As of today we have set the date for the Dinner Fundraiser at the Stillwood Inn for Thursday May 23, 2013 with a SPECIAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE from MIKEY WAX (scheduled to appear).  

If you have any capacity and / or desire to continue to help us with the efforts in keeping this grand Wallingford family tradition alive please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Spreading the word to friends and neighbors that might support the efforts is always welcome as well.

Thank you again for your past support and our ongoing efforts.

One month is down with March behind us; only 60 days remain.

I wanted to drop this open post as an update to where we are and where we need to go.

First and foremost, I want to express my personal thanks once again for your past support to the Wallingford Fireworks Fund and the Wallingford 4^th of July Independence Day Celebration.

The efforts of the past three years have allowed the Wallingford Fireworks Fund, with your help, to save Wallingford’s Independence Day celebration. The fireworks show for 2013 has again gone unfunded by the town without any consideration for the town services, so if the event is to occur we are going to have to fund everything ourselves, the fireworks themselves, the overtime for the police, fire and public works departments, and so forth.

The 2013 campaign effort has a goal of $30,000.00; if we cannot collect this amount by the last Friday in May, per the Mayor’s timeline for when the funds are due, the show will not occur and we’ll push the funds into 2014.

We haven’t needed to do this yet and have no plans to allow that to happen this year either.

Your donations have always been critical but never more than this year; the long winter has hampered our March fundraising efforts. We have collected just $4,000.00 when we’d otherwise have about $8,000.00. Averaging forward over the remaining 60 days, we will fall short by about $15,000.00 unless the mail in donations make-up the difference.

You can also donate below via PAYPAL if you choose.

We have advertising rates for our 2013 program guide available as well as formal sponsorship of the 2013 event at varying levels; if you or anyone you know can and wish to support us at those levels please drop me an email and I will forward you the information.

The 2013 Sponsor Book will be handed out at ALL fundraising events (after first printing planned for the first week of May), this includes the annual dinner fundraiser and any other events we'll be having until the July 4th fireworks show. (If there are still copies remaining for Celebrate Wallingford 2013 we'll hand them out there as well).

As of today we have set the date for the Dinner Fundraiser at the Stillwood Inn for Thursday May 23, 2013 with a SPECIAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE from MIKEY WAX (scheduled to appear).
