NIAGARA FIREWORKS PIZZA FUND DRIVE GETS UNDERWAY

The popular Niagara Fireworks pizza fundraiser got underway last weekend when sales began during the annual Niagara Lions Nine-Pin Bowling Tournament held at the newly remodeled Uptown Lanes & Lounge.  In the photo, Uptown Lanes & Lounge co-owners Emily and Brock Payette are shown with Ann Dunlap of the Niagara Community Fireworks Committee.  The pizza fundraiser is the fifth annual for the Niagara Community Fireworks Committee which will use the funds raised to finance future fireworks at the Niagara Lions Community Picnics.  Due to the Niagara Centennial being held this year, this will be the only fireworks fundraiser that will be held in 2014 so as not to conflict with Niagara Centennial projects and activities.

Four vendors have agreed to participate and these include:

• Audrey’s Ravioli Shop of Niagara
• Uptown Lanes & Lounge of Niagara
• Jim’s Restaurant of Niagara
• Pizza Oven of Kingsford

 

The cost will again be just $8.00 for each 12-inch homemade pizza for either sausage and cheese or pepperoni and cheese pizzas.  All participating businesses will donate $2.00 back to the Fireworks Committee for each pizza sold.  The goal will be to match or exceed the total of 787 pizzas sold a year ago.

The pizza sale will run from February 21-April 14 and those who purchase pizzas will pick them up at the business they ordered from on Saturday, May 3.  Pizza order forms are available at the First National Bank of Niagara, Forward Financial Credit Union at its Niagara, Pembine, and Iron Mountain offices, and from Fireworks committee members Gordon Behnke, Ann Dunlap, Kerry Grippen, Char Liebergen, Lisa Mattia, Lenore Neveau, and Don Novak.

For more information, contact Kerry Grippen at (906) 282-8471 or via email at kgrippen@niagaracable.com
