Get involved! Contact Bonnie to find out how you can help make this great event happen!
You might have noticed we’ve refreshed the name of our event to illuminate why we hold it every year and why your participation is so important. More than 1,800 children in the Issaquah School District who receive free or reduced-price school lunches don’t have access to these resources outside of school. Our Summer Lunch, Lunch for the Break, and Power Packs programs play a vital role in ensuring children have easy access to healthy food at all times.
The annual fireworks show has raised an amazing $290,000 since 2015 to support childhood nutrition in our community. Last year alone, everyone came together to help raise over $58,000, which provided breakfast, lunch, and snack foods for over 550 children for an entire month. With your help and our partnership with The Kritsonis & Lindor Team at Windermere Real Estate, hundreds of children will be ensured sufficient nutrition this year.
In these times of rising costs and reduced SNAP benefits, we need your help more than ever. Please join us as we raise funds to continue supporting our youngest citizens.
Enjoy the show without having to stay up late during the week! Mark your calendars for:
Saturday, July 1 at 10:00 p.m.
The fireworks will be launched from a barge off the western shore of Lake Sammamish about halfway between Vasa Park and Lake Sammamish State Park. Any spot along the southern part of the lake should be a great viewing point!
Please join Kritsonis & Lindor and the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to support fundraising efforts for our youth feeding programs, then celebrate with us from your favorite vantage point for the fireworks display on July 1.
John Kritsonis and Karl Lindor of The Kritsonis & Lindor Team at Windermere Real Estate have been funding this event since 2015 to support the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank. In addition to funding equipment purchases and our youth feeding programs over the years, they have helped us expand our reach and have been committed advocates to our mission.
