The Marion Fireworks Committee is asking for help. The deadline for donations for the 2016 Independence Day Fireworks is fast approaching. The goal again this year is $50,000.

All costs associated with the fireworks are paid for from the money raised through the fundraising efforts of the Marion Fireworks Committee.

All donation amounts are welcome and are tax deductible.

The fireworks are enjoyed by Marion residents and those in surrounding communities. Anyone who has enjoyed the Independence Day event in the past is asked to consider donating so the tradition can continue.

Donations may be mailed to the Marion Fireworks Committee, 13 Atlantis Drive, Marion, Massachusetts 02738.

For questions or more information, contact the committee at 774-217-8355 or fireworks@marionrecreation.com.

The deadline for donations is May 1.
