Ewing & Clark Saves the 4th of July!


Well, not by ourselves but with about 100 other companies. The last major fireworks show in Seattle was going to be canceled unless $500,000 was raised. Ewing & Clark was the 12th company to donate. After the grassroots effort started some big companies also donated and together we all saved the event on Lake Union.

We were somewhat surprised that we were recognized by emails and phone calls from people who noticed. One person wrote:

I just wanted to thank you for your company's donation to One Reel to keep our July Fourth celebration going. I often don't get what direction Seattle is headed, but the fact that a couple hundred small business stepped up to support the fireworks is about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Makes me very proud to live in Seattle!

Here is a link to MyNorthwest.com to read a little more about it. Ewing and Clark is the 12th company on the list: http://mynw.com/?nid=75&sid=304928
