I wanted to give some recognition to The Stars & Stripes Fourth of July Celebration’s “Patriotic Sponsors”.  What this means, is these organizations have contributed $1,500 or more toward our parade and fireworks.  When the planning first began for the 2012 event, the committee was concerned at the financial outlook for the event, hoping for generous sponsors like these to come forward and support an event 12 years in the making.  Thankfully, among other donations, these five organizations really put their passion for the event forward and have helped continue the tradition of our hometown parade and fireworks display on July Fourth!

A very special thank you to our Parade Sponsors ($1,500 level):

Treat’s Heating & Cooling

Mutual of Enumclaw

Rainier View Construction & Roofing

Puget Sound Energy

And to our Fireworks Sponsor ($2,000 level):

Helac Corporation

Dave Namura, PSE

Tim Robeck, Park Center Hotel (Marketing and Fundraising chair for Stars & Stripes)

Anita Yurovchak, PSE

Eric Nelson, Mutual of Enumclaw

Tracey Prociw, Rainier View Construction & Roofing, Stars & stripes Committee Treasurer

Justin Treat, Treat’s Heating & Cooling

Other hardworking Stars & Stripes committee members:

On behalf of the committee and the entire community, I would like to thank all of these people who have made this event possible.  See you on the Fourth in Downtown Enumclaw!
