May 21, 2015—Jake’s Fireworks, the country’s biggest fireworks wholesaler and retailer, will host a Memorial Day weekend sales event to benefit the families of American veterans, including 225 Michigan servicemen and women who gave their lives serving their country.
Beginning Friday and running through Monday May 22, Jake’s Fireworks is offering the World Class Fireworks’“Folds of Honor” firework cake on sale for $25. For each sale, Jake’s will donate $10 to the Folds of Honor Foundation to benefit the children and spouses of killed or injured veterans. Residents in the Portage and Holland communities are invited to stop by their local Jake’s Fireworks store to enjoy video demonstrations of the Folds of Honor Firework, a 16 shot, 500 gram cake in that produces a spectacular red, white and blue display.
Since the consumer-grade firework cake can be legally purchased and safely used by the public for personal celebrations, the opportunity to help the families of veterans and satisfy everyone’s love of fireworks at the same time should provide a welcome holiday diversion for many. In addition, store customers can submit their entries to win a Char-Broil 4-burner, stainless steel gas grill. One winner per store will be announced Monday, May 25 at 5 p.m.
According to the Folds of Honor Foundation, more than one million children and surviving spouses of veterans have been adversely affected by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of these, 85 percent do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. FoldsofHonor.org provides educational scholarships and other forms of assistance to the dependents of military servicemen and women killed or disabled while serving their country.
Since 2013, World Class Fireworks—known as Jake’s Fireworks, with more than 250 stores throughout Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Michigan and Missouri—has been raising funds for the families of veterans through sales of Folds of Honor firework products.
