2025 Big Boom Bracket Battle Firecracker 4

Perry Chamber Continues the 2025 July 4^th Fireworks Drive
Big Boom Bracket Battle Firecracker 4 Announced
 
Perry, March 18, 2025 – The second round of the Big Boom Bracket Battle brought in just over $600 for Perry’s 4^th of July fireworks drive, bringing total fundraising efforts to $2,985.19.  After a second week of collecting donations for the bracket style contest, the Chamber has announced who will be advancing as the Firecracker 4!
 
“The second round is always a bit lighter than the first round,” explains Lynsi Pasutti, Executive Director of the Perry Chamber of Commerce.  “There are half as many contestants and sometimes a lot of effort went into making it past the first round.  Plus, it is the start of Spring Break which presents a challenge, but it is always fun to see how the final standings shift at the end of each round!”
 
The Firecracker 4 advancing to the next round are:
(3) Chief Grason Hill, Perry Fire Department vs. (15) Sarah Reimers, Perry Booster Club
(8) Paige Scheib, Edward Jones vs. (12) Eddie Diaz, DMACC VanKirk Career Academy
 
“We would like to thank everyone that has donated to the fireworks drive so far,” Pasutti adds. “It all adds up – even the spare change in the collection jars at the Rec Center.”
 
Donations for the third round of the contest will be accepted now through Tuesday, March 25th at 12pm, and then the Final Showdown will begin that same day. Online donations can be submitted at GiveButter.com/Perry-Chamber-Foundation or to the direct campaign at GiveButter.com/2025BBBB4 and in-person donations will be collected at the McCreary Community Building (1800 Pattee Street). Donations may also be delivered to the Perry Chamber of Commerce at 1124 Willis Avenue or mailed to PO Box 472, Perry, IA 50220.
 
The Big Boom Bracket Battle is a bracket-style contest, matching up community members in four weeks of ‘head-to-head’ contests as a fundraiser for Perry’s 4th of July fireworks display. Advancement in the bracket is determined by donations from the community, accepted online, by mail, and at various locations in town. The ultimate winner will be rewarded with a pie in their face in April, along with bragging rights and a traveling trophy.
