Thanks to local residents, Jamie Herman-Giagunto and Teresa Thomas, the tradition of the Mays Landing Fireworks just may continue in 2010. These two woman have negotiated a partnership the township so that if they raise enough money to pay for the cost of the fireworks, police and public works that the township will execute the contract and provide the insurance for the event.An account has been opened at Wachovia Bank under the name of Mays Landing Fireworks for which a non-profit status is being sought. All sending donations will receive a letter that they can use for tax purposes to write off the donation. If the effort falls short of goal, the women have promised to refund all donations.
The initial goal set is $15,000, $7,500 of which is needed by January 1, 2010 in order to execute a contract with a fireworks vendor. Donations are now being accepted. Make check payable to Mays Landing Fireworks and mail or hand deliver to Remax Community, 3969 Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing, NJ 08330.
