Aspira helps save Lake Union 4th of July Fireworks!!

Many of you probably heard the news yesterday that One Reel Production
was unable to find a major sponsor for the 4th of July fireworks on Lake
Union this summer and the event was going to be cancelled.  KIRO morning
host Dave Ross and local Chef, Tom Douglas started a pledge drive to see
if local businesses would step up to support the event.  As the day went
by, Tom Douglas was able to secure challenge grants of $125K each from
Microsoft and Starbucks if other local organizations would pledge the
remaining $250K needed to host the event.

Last night, Aspira Apartment pledged $5,000 to support this cherished
local event.  This places Aspira apartments within the top 5 challenge
donors and top ten donors to the overall effort.

With the spectacular view of the fireworks from the building, the owners
decided that this celebration will become one of the most celebrated
annual events for our residents and we needed to support it.  So mark
your calendars now for the big 4th of July Celebration!
