Our History -
On December 3rd, 2010, we saw the world in a new light. "I was at a feild trip to the Kids In Action awards. I saw what a condition the world is in right now. I hadn't seen that before. It modivated me to do what I can. I called up some of my friends. Some weren't interested. I admit, some thought the idea wasn't good. I almost gave up. Then, I called Erin. She's been my best friend for a long time."
Then, in February 2011, teamFIREWORKS was born. "We originally called it Nicole's Art Explosion, becuase I am so passionate about art, and I wanted it to be the thing that I give. Then, when Erin and I listened to Katy Perry's Firework, we had an idea. We called it teamFIREWORKS, becuase we are all a team, and if we start a spark in the sky, we can all create fireworks together."
TeamFIREWORKS in currently in progress. "We are planning all sorts of events: garage/yard sales, drives, and collections. We are still constructing our websites, and will love to hear from anyone by e-mail (teamfireworks10@gmail.com), or you can contact us at our phone number (1-631-708-9368)."
