Hey nonprofits! Is your organization having trouble raising money in today’s economic environment? TNT Fireworks has a fun and creative solution to help jumpstart your idle fundraising efforts. If you’re looking to do just that, we are currently seeking partnerships with civic, religious, youth or any other nonprofit, 501(c)-3 organizations.

 A January 2009 survey of 22,000 donors by Cygnus Applied Research found that almost half planned to decrease or were uncertain about their ability to make contributions. Well, we are here to help you get past that. Selling fireworks is one of the easiest and most-profitable fundraisers available.

TNT Fireworks has partnered with more that 5,000 nonprofit organizations nationwide, and have helped generate more than $35 million to support community causes. So, whether your organization is raising money to help our veterans and American soldiers, to send your religious organization on a mission trip to help recovery efforts in Haiti, or to fund your community’s youth sports program, we will help your organization organize fundraising opportunities that can help you reach your goals.

 This is what one of your fellow nonprofits had to say about fundraising with TNT Fireworks: “The funds from fireworks sales make up a major portion of our income. Without this fundraiser, we would only be able to open one day per week. It would severely curtail the number of people we are able to help. Last year, none of the 6,500 men, women and children who came to the center for food or clothing was turned away.”—Debbie Caravalho, Viola Blythe Center

The Delmae Ruritan Club of Florence, SC will be running two fireworks stands in the Florence area (Hoffmeyer Rd at the Kmart, and at the S. Irby St Wal-mart) from now through the New Year’s holiday! The Ruritan Club is a local service organization that has nearly 32,000 members throughout the United States who work to improve more than 1,200 local communities. Since the organization’s beginning in 1928, Ruritan Clubs have served America with fellowship, goodwill, and community service. Ruritan is a civic service organization made up of local clubs in urban areas, small towns and rural communities.

Many clubs provide and supervise community recreational centers, sponsor Little League and other athletic programs, involve themselves in anti-litter campaigns, help the sick and needy, and perform a wide range of services to help their communities.

Unlike most civic service organizations, Ruritan rarely has national programs. Rather, each club surveys its own community as to the needs of that community and then works to meet some of those needs. Nearly all clubs work locally with FFA, 4-H and other organizations serving youth. Nearly one in every three Ruritan clubs sponsors a Boy or Girl Scout unit.

In Orangeburg, SC, Old Mt Zion Baptist Church will also be running a fireworks fundraising sale from now through the New Year’s Holiday! Their stand is located in the Papa John’s Parking lot at 2365 Chestnut St. (across from the mall) in Orangeburg. Hours are from 10am to 10pm, and a portion of each purchase stays right in the local community.

Other groups you can support in South Carolina that are fundraising during the New Year are:

·The Pentecostals of Spartanburg Fireworks. Help them raise money for their community outreach, youth and missions programs with TWO locations one at the Ingles on Hwy 29 in Spartanburg and the other at Ingles on Hwy # 9 in Boiling Springs, SC.

·Carolina Dirtbags Baseball Team are raising money for their club and they’re located across the street from Chic-fil-a at 101 Beacon Drive & Pelham Road in Greenville, SC just off I-85 location.

·Calvary Apostolic Church has three locations in the Greenville area, Bilo’s at 715 E. Main Street in Greer, SC; China Buffet at 6119 Whitehorse Road in Greenville, SC and the Wal-Mart Shopping Center at 3027 Wade Hampton Blvd. in Taylors, SC.

·Carolina High School and Coach Barry Cannon is raising money to support the High School Baseball Team. They are selling TNT Fireworks at Big Lots Parking Lot on 2600 Old Anderson Road in Greenville, SC.

·In Westminster, SC, Seneca Church of God is raising money for their church and they are located at 1049 E. Main Street Ingles Grocery Store.

·Whitestone Freedom Fellowship Church on 1637 Sandifer Blvd in Seneca, SC as they raise money for their outreach programs to feed and cloth the needy in the local community by selling TNT Fireworks.

·River of Life Church of God at the Wal-Mart Shopping Center located at 651 Hwy 28 Bypass in Anderson, SC as they raise funds for their youth department.

·The local teens of Tremont Church of God are running two TNT Fireworks fundraising locations for the New Year’s season. One is in Easley, SC in front of Wal-Mart at 1011 Pendleton Drive and the other is Easley Village at 5155 Calhoun Memorial Highway.

·Annual TNT Fireworks fundraiser for the Simpsonville Church of God Youth at the Ingles /Kohl’s Shopping Center at 621 Fairview Road just off Grandview Drive in Simpsonville, SC.

The countdown is on and there are only 3 days until we wave good bye to 2009 and say hello to 2010 and what better way to bring in the new year than with TNT Fireworks. So far the weather is looking great in the Carolina’s and even though the weather might be cold and there’s snow in Pennsylvania, aerials, fountain and sparklers not only work great they look great in the snow!  Speaking of snow, TNT Fireworks has 5 tent locations open this year in Connecticut,  and for the first time in years you can buy fireworks in Clarksville, TN.  Even further south in Puerto Rico there are TNT locations opened all around the island, but beware, there has been a crack down on the importation of illegal fireworks – look for the TNT brand as all our products are legal.

For those that live in Florida, the tents opened state wide on 12/28 but you can also pick up TNT Fireworks and Party Supplies at our TNT Supercenters in Alabama, Florida, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming as well as many of your local retailers across the country including Walmart, Sams Club, Target, Costco, Kroger and Meijer.

Not sure where the closest location is to you. No problem. Just go to http://tntfireworks.com/location.php and there are two options right under the map.  Click the dropdown box to find a TNT Supercenter, as well as fabulous fireworks coupons or input your zip code to find a stand and tent.  It’s that easy. 

What’s that, you didn’t get any TNT coupons this year?  Well, don’t miss out on July 4th specials, sign up for our TNT Club http://www.tntfireworks.com/tntclub.php and coupons will be emailed right to your computer.

So Happy New Year and remember, If it’s not TNT, it’s not fireworks!
