Nothing says “Fourth of July” like a parade through town square, fireworks or a ceremony to thank our veterans.
But in recent years, many U.S. towns have had to cancel or scale back their July 4th events, when funding ran short. We’d like to help!
From May 4th through June 14th, 2011, Liberty Mutual Insurance is hosting Bring Back the 4th™ an online contest allowing cities and towns across America to compete for one of ten $10,000 grants to support their official 4th of July celebrations.
Want to help your town win? Click on the above box to take a brief quiz on “Responsible Moments in U.S. History.” The quiz features eight questions about Americans who helped shape our nation and inspire others, from historical icons to everyday people with big contributions.
Each completed quiz counts as one credit towards your town. The 10 U.S. towns with the highest level of quiz participation among their residents will be eligible to win grants, divided by small (4 grants), medium (3 grants) and large (3 grants) towns. Please click here to obtain the official contest rules.
Winners will be notified and announced during the week of June 20th. Good luck and don’t forget to check out our Bring Back the 4th™ Town Toolkit, to help spread the word!
