Eric Rayner has officially began his Fireworks Fundraiser.
He will be updating the public on the progress of his efforts as well as the amount of money collected on a regular basis on his “Save the Ellwood City Fireworks 2019” Facebook page.
“I will update the Facebook page every night with updates on how much was raised,” Rayner said.

“The initial donations I received when meeting with Mayor Tony Court, Lt. David Kingston, council members Marilyn Mancini and George Celli, and Justin Neupauer of Alborn Tire Sales totaled $325,” Rayner said.

Rayner is working to set up in person donations at a couple locations in Ellwood City.
“We will also have at least 2 drop off locations days on a Saturday or Sunday,” He said. “Dates are to be determined very soon, where anyone can come donate cash or check in person. At least 1 of those days will be at National Grind coffee and tea shop. Again, dates to be determined very soon.”
The Festival Committee expressed their support for Rayner in an April 19 Facebook post.
“The Ellwood City Festival committee supports the efforts of Eric Rayner as he conducts his campaign to raise funds to pay for the 2019 Ellwood City Fireworks. The festival committee supports Eric’s campaign by covering the cost of traffic control, insurance, and the cost of the school district employee necessary for the firework show. These are the additional costs associated with the fireworks every year. The festival committee appreciates the widespread community support as evidenced by the response to Eric’s efforts. Thank you all!”
