How Small Businesses Saved the 4th of July

Posted by Allyse Coughlin Yodle Marketing Coordinator

Most of us associate the 4th of July with family and friends, sun, the beach, barbecues, and, of course, fireworks. However, with the economy leaving many cities throughout the U.S. cash strapped, 4th of July fireworks unfortunately were not an option for some cities throughout the country. Thankfully, a number of cities were able to keep their tradition alive with the help of some very determined and influential people – small business owners!

Read these two uplifting stories below to see how small businesses helped in contributing over $75,000 for several Treasure Coast cities in Florida and $500,000 in Seattle!
