Mission Bay Yacht Club launches fireworks fundraising drive The Mission Bay Yacht Club (MBYC) is gearing up fundraising efforts to put on the group’s 28th annual Fourth of July community fireworks display. Yacht club members said the cost of putting on the show has risen substantially over the years, and a goal of $24,000 has been set to offset the expense. Organizers also said that because Paradise Point has cancelled its annual Fourth of July pyrotechnics, the only bay fireworks show will be that put on by SeaWorld San Diego if the MBYC?is unable to raise the necessary funding. Residents wishing to aid the fireworks fund may mailing donations to the Mission Bay Yacht Club, 1215 El Carmel Place, San Diego, 92109-7499.
