Officials Encourage Donations for Branford Fireworks

Branford officials have decided the best route to generate enough funds to put on the fireworks show over Branford Point on Saturday, June 27 would be to have residents donate what they can, preferably at least $1, the Shore Publishing reported.

The $30,000 show is already two-thirds of the way accounted for by a $20,000 fund appreoved by the Town of Branford, but the other $10,000 is needed to get the display off the ground, and town officials need residents’ help, the Shore Publishing reported.

Branford Fireworks Committee member Alex Palluzzi told Shore Publishing there are 28,000 residents in Branford, and if every resident donated a $1 there would be enough to put on the fireworks show this year, as well as to create reserves to ensure later fireworks displays are funded appropriately and in timely fashions.

Donations are accepted online, by phone at (203) 488-8304 and by mail, checks payable to the Branford Fireworks Committee, P.O. Box 987, Branford CT 06405.
