Dear Neighbor,
Close your eyes and picture it, an amazing fireworks show over Mira Mesa on the Fourth of July!
For over 50 years, our community has gathered under the night sky—blankets on the grass, kids with glow sticks, families shoulder to shoulder—awaiting that first burst of color in the sky. That moment, when the crowd cheers in unison, is more than a fireworks show. It’s us, together.
As we look ahead to 2026, we’re aiming higher than ever: The 250th anniversary of the United States deserves fireworks on the Fourth of July itself—not the weekend before or after. But to make that dream a reality, we need your help today.
We’re launching our #BackToTheFourth campaign to raise $75,000 and bring the celebration back where it belongs. Every dollar helps, and we’ve made it easy for everyone to be part of it:
GOLD DONOR – $100+
Proudly fuel the sky with brilliance—your name will shine in our gratitude.
SILVER DONOR – $75
Help light up the night and keep the spirit of the Fourth alive.
BRONZE DONOR – $50
Every firework starts with a spark—and you’re part of it.
NEIGHBOR – $20 and below
Even the smallest flame can ignite something big.
Whether you’re giving as a tribute to tradition, in honor of this incredible country, or simply because the Fourth wouldn’t be the same without fireworks—thank you. Your donation keeps this cherished Mira Mesa tradition alive for generations to come.
Let’s celebrate America’s 250th birthday the right way: under the stars, together, on the Fourth of July.
With heartfelt thanks,
Michael Spencer
