ATLANTA, May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The success of TNT Fireworks' community outreach program is inspiring local nonprofit organizations across West Virginia – and nationwide – to join in for the 2014 Fourth of July holiday.

TNT Fireworks, the nation's largest distributor of consumer fireworks and novelty items, has partnered with nonprofit groups nationwide for more than 40 years, raising more than $20 million each year for their respective causes.

"TNT's community outreach program helps local nonprofits raise much needed funds in an economy struggling to recover," says Sherri Fallin, spokesperson for TNT Fireworks East. "We look forward to teaming up with our charitable partners across the nation this Fourth of July holiday."

TNT handles a number of tasks for its nonprofit partners including setting up stores, shipping product to specific locations, advertising with enhanced outside merchandising plans, and in some markets, media advertising – empowering each nonprofit to focus on fundraising.

For more than thirteen years, TNT has partnered with local chapters of Vietnam Veterans of America to provide quality fundraising surrounding the Fourth of July holiday.

"Partnering with TNT has been a great experience for our organization," says Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter #308. "The fundraising program was extremely successful in raising money to support our initiatives while, most importantly, providing an opportunity for us to interact and meet members of our local community. Undertaking a fundraising program of this magnitude seemed daunting, but TNT provided our group with all the necessary training as well as providing supplies and a location for the store."
