Liberty Mutual Helps 10 Communities Fund Fourth of July Events

June 30, 2011

Liberty Mutual Insurance has announced 10 winners of its Bring Back the 4th contest, which – from May 4 to June 14, 2011 – encouraged U.S. cities and towns to compete for ten $10,000 grants to help fund local Fourth of July events.

The awards should help communities preserve their Fourth of July fireworks and parades at a time when many local governments across the country are asking, “How will we pay for this year’s fireworks?”

Americans were asked to take a brief U.S. history quiz featuring questions about people and events that helped shape the nation and inspire others. Each completed quiz counted as one credit towards a website visitor’s town, and the 10 U.S. municipalities with the most completed quizzes would win grants. Bring Back the 4th grants are awarded to cities and towns in three size-based categories: small (four grants), medium (three grants) and large (three grants).

Durham, NC was named as one of the ten recipients.

The Harper Agency wishes all Business Insurance, NC Homeowners Insurance and NC Auto Insurance clients a very safe and happy Fourth of July!
