Residents Can Earn $10,000 for NEW BRITAIN’s 4th of July Celebration
From Liberty Mutual Insurance’s BRING BACK THE 4THTM Contest


(New Britain) – Facing stretched budgets, cities and towns across America are viewing local Fourth of July events with growing uncertainty, as many municipalities make the tough choice to scale back or cancel longstanding celebrations. To help, Liberty Mutual Insurance will once again host BRING BACK THE 4THTM, an online contest through which U.S. cities and towns can compete for one of ten $10,000 grants to continue cherished July 4th traditions such as parades, fireworks displays and ceremonies honoring our veterans. Starting Wednesday, May 4, 2011, residents from New Britain can visit http://www.BringBackThe4th.com to help earn funding for their community tradition.

Here is how the contest works: Upon visiting the Bring Back the 4th website, visitors are prompted to take a brief quiz on Responsible Moments in U.S. History, featuring questions about Americans who helped shape our nation and inspire others. Each completed quiz counts as one credit towards the site visitor’s town, and the 10 U.S. municipalities with the most quizzes completed on their behalf will be eligible to win grants. Website visitors may take the quiz once, and are encouraged to rally family, friends and co-workers to visit http://www.BringBackThe4th.com and take the quiz themselves. Featured on the website are a host of tools for spreading the word via social media, websites, blogs and newsletters.

Liberty Mutual will close the contest on Flag Day, June 14, 2011, and then tally the quiz credits to determine winners and award grants to the 10 cities and towns that prompted the highest participation, the week of June 20. Bring Back the 4th grants will be awarded to cities and towns in three size-based categories:

 Small Cities/Towns – Up to15,000 residents (Four grants)
 Medium Cities/Towns – 15,001-100,000 residents (Three grants)
 Large (three grants – 100,001 residents and over (Three grants)

“As a company with roots in the New Britain region, we appreciate first-hand the important role Fourth of July traditions play in our city” said Doug O’Leary and Carlo Carlozzi, Sales Representatives for Liberty Mutual Insurance. “By participating in Bring Back the 4th, local residents can rally in support of a fun, patriotic celebration that brings us together as community members, year after year.”

In addition to the Bring Back the 4th contest, Liberty Mutual also helps America celebrate Independence Day by sponsoring The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, a nationally broadcast CBS Television special featuring Conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops.
