From the Braintree 4th of July Committee:

The Braintree July 4th Celebration Committee Inc. has officially kicked off its fundraising campaign and hopes the business and residents of Braintree will step forward and support the committee’s financial goal for the town’s 43rd Annual Independence Day Celebration.

The committee is a charitable 501c3 organization and as such, donations from businesses and individuals are tax deductible. The committee has developed a menu of options for businesses and individuals to become sponsors at all financial levels. “The committee is once again excited about the chance to partner with our businesses and offer them the chance to sponsor this great family fun event. This will generate positive advertising and publicity for their business and instill pride while supporting a great cause” committee chairman Sean Powers said. This year marks the 240th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The Braintree’s 43rd Annual Independence Day Celebration will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2016. Plans are still being finalized for the parade and celebration and will be released soon. Check back for updates on the committee’s website developed by Jolicoeur Design at www.Braintrees4th.org for more details as they are announced.

“We are proud to carry on this tradition of celebrating America’s independence and the spirit and history of Braintree. The town has committed $35,000 in funding for initial support with the remaining funds to be raised privately. We are confident that the businesses and residents will join together and offer their financial support to make this year’s parade and celebration a success. ” said Mayor Joe Sullivan.
