Paulding, OH: CoRP (Community Revitalizing Paulding) is raising money for the crowd favorite fireworks to be held the night of the John Paulding Summer Blast on Friday, July 17th. 2020 has been a tough year for many businesses and individuals, but 2020 is also the county’s bicentennial which is something definitely worth celebrating! Fireworks have become part of the county’s summer traditions and are awed over by many. The fireworks display costs $8,000 and CoRP is working hard to raise money to be able to give the community the firework display they love and deserve! $8,000 is a lot of money and the task is daunting, but with the support and generosity of the community, CoRP knows it can be done.
“The community has shown time and time again their generosity, and it’s so appreciated! This is our bicentennial year, a year that’s so significant it should be celebrated the right way; with fireworks lighting up our downtown and shining a light on our community and the beautiful courthouse,” says Dave Burtch, CoRP chairman.
To make a contribution to the fireworks you can do so on Facebook through a GoFundMe account found on CoRP’s Facebook page. You can also send a check directly to the organization. Mail all donations to PO Box 237 Paulding, OH 45879, made out to CoRP with ‘fireworks’ in the memo line. CoRP is a 501 c 3 organization so all donations are tax deductible. If the $8,000 is not raised in full then all donations will be refunded to the donors. If by God’s grace more than $8,000 is raised, then the excess funds will be used for next year’s firework show.
CoRP thanks the community in advance for their support and will be working hard to make it happen!
