Centerpiece Show in Las Vegas Largest in the United States, with Performances Across 15 Simultaneous Locations on July 4

BELLPORT, N.Y., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As America marks its 250th anniversary, Fireworks by Grucci and the Grucci family bring a uniquely resonant perspective to this milestone. While the family’s pyrotechnic roots date back to 1850 in Bari, Italy, Phil Grucci’s second great-grandfather established the American branch of this family tree in 1905 in Long Island, NY. Since then, the Grucci’s have been crafting celebrations and woven into the fabric of the America story for nearly a century. As America’s First Family of Fireworks, there is no more fitting name to light up the sky for America’s 250th birthday.

From hometown celebrations to landmark public performances, Fireworks by Grucci is honoring America’s Semiquincentennial with world-class displays that reflect the company’s unmatched record of innovation and excellence from pioneering the stringless shell to introducing microchip-timed aerials. Among its 14 Guinness World Records are the largest fireworks display, the largest aerial fireworks shell, the most UAVs launching fireworks simultaneously, and the longest chain of fireworks. That commitment to creating lifelong memories has also earned the company a Gold Medal at the Monte Carlo Fireworks Competition and the trust of the nation’s most iconic stages, from Presidential Inaugurations to the Olympic Games.

The Largest Fourth of July Show in the Country: Las Vegas
Fireworks by Grucci’s Las Vegas engagement stands as the centerpiece of its 2026 season and will be the largest multi-location choreographed Independence Day performance in the United States. Produced in partnership with Las Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the residency spans every Saturday from June 6 through July 25, with an eight-minute artistically choreographed performance each night beginning around 9 p.m. Starting with the World Class multi-media performance on July 1 to celebrate Station Casino‘s 50th anniversary with the first of seven properties.

On July 4, Grucci will deliver its grandest performance of the season across the largest theatre in the country: nine iconic rooftops spanning The Strip and six additional Station Casinos rooftops throughout the Las Vegas Valley, making it the largest multi-location choreographed performance with 15 simultaneous launch sites igniting the sky above the Entertainment Capital of the World.

“To bring our family’s 176-year legacy to the world’s greatest stage for America’s 250th birthday is a profound artistic privilege,” said Phil Grucci, CEO and Creative Director of Fireworks by Grucci. “On July 4th, we aren’t just lighting the sky; we are transforming the entire Las Vegas Strip and Valley into a singular, synchronized canvas of celestial choreography. We are ecstatic to deliver a production that honors our nation’s history and gives audiences from coast to coast a memory of a lifetime.”

To further celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial, Fireworks by Grucci is anchoring major community traditions and cultural institutions across the nation this summer, including:

Tri-State Tradition: From the historic shorelines of NY Harbor in a collaboration between City of Jersey City, to Montauk, Yonkers, Springfield, MA, Atlantic City’s major resort properties (Tropicana and Borgata), the legendary 21st anniversary of TD Bank’s ‘Celebrate America’ in Nassau County (July 2), to a 75+ year tradition at an intimate setting at a yacht club in the Hamptons, Grucci remains the definitive voice of summer celebration across the Northeast.Great American West: Anchoring the largest 250th celebration in the nation starts with an unprecedented summer-long rotating residency across 19 distinct Nevada casino-hotel properties with Las Vegas Events, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Station Casinos. And continues by highlighting the massive Stadium of Fire at “America’s Freedom Festival” in Provo, Utah (July 4) featuring “The Largest Stadium Fireworks Show in America”, set to patriotic music and narration, and enhanced with Grucci Pyro drones and flames, created in collaboration with Stadium of Fire’s producers Baruch/Gayton Productions. Grucci is executing the most elaborate aerial choreography in the country.Historic & Cultural Institutions: Throughout the summer celebrating America’s 250th, Grucci’s artistry will orchestrate multi-sensory experiences at landmark locations, including the ancestral home of the DuPont family at the Hagley Museum & Library in Delaware (June 12 & 19) and synchronized to live classical arrangements with the Chorus of Westerly in Rhode Island (June 20).

EverTrue Launches DonorSearch360+, Giving Fundraising Teams Real-Time Donor Intelligence Inside Salesforce

Published

By

New native AgentExchange application transforms CRM data into dynamic intelligence — enabling nonprofits, universities, and healthcare organizations to screen millions of records and track donor wealth velocity for the first time

INDIANAPOLIS, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EverTrue, a philanthropy-first intelligence platform that helps fundraising teams turn data into action and build real donor relationships, today announced the general availability of DonorSearch360+, a ground-up reimagining of its native Salesforce integration. DonorSearch360+ is now available on AgentExchange, Salesforce’s marketplace that brings together the rich ecosystems of AppExchange, Slack, and Agentforce into one experience — making it easy for customers to discover, buy, activate, and manage trusted solutions across Salesforce and Slack.

Built for gift officers, prospect researchers, and development operations teams, DonorSearch360+ embeds wealth screening, AI-powered predictive scores, and donor intelligence directly into Salesforce Contact, Lead, and Person Account records. The application replaces the legacy DonorSearch360.io integration and introduces capabilities unavailable anywhere else on the market — including industry-first “delta” tracking that allows fundraising teams to visualize how a donor’s wealth and engagement signals are changing over time.

DonorSearch360+ is currently available on AgentExchange

From Static Data to a Dynamic Intelligence Engine

Most fundraising teams don’t lack data — they lack clarity. For years, nonprofit Salesforce integrations overwrote historical records with each new screening, capped batch runs at 50,000 records, and offered no visibility into whether a donor’s capacity was increasing or declining. DonorSearch360+ removes those barriers entirely.

Key capabilities of DonorSearch360+ include:

Industry-first Delta Tracking: Save and compare two distinct donor profiles to visualize wealth velocity — seeing exactly how much a capacity level or AI score has shifted since the last screening.

Massive-Scale Batching: Screen millions of records directly from a standard Salesforce Report with up to ten simultaneous batch jobs running concurrently.

Automated Scheduling: Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly screenings based on saved reports so new contacts and leads are automatically enriched the moment they enter Salesforce — no manual intervention required.

Advanced DSAI Score Integration: Six AI-powered predictive scores (MLR, RET, UPG, LTV, SUS, ACQ) move the conversation beyond “How much could this donor give?” to “What will they do next?” — helping gift officers prioritize who to call first, who is ready for a larger ask, and which donors are at risk of lapsing.

Deep Customization: Support for up to 20 user-defined custom fields and full Person Account compatibility, designed for complex enterprise organizations.

Visual, Graphical Dashboards: A modernized interface replaces the legacy plain-text display with rich, visual donor profiles — plus transparent error reporting so administrators can troubleshoot in real time.

Comments on the News

“Wealth tells you what someone could give. Philanthropy-first intelligence tells you what they will give. DonorSearch360+ moves gift officers beyond capacity estimates and into a real understanding of donor behavior, so that every conversation is better informed and every relationship has a stronger foundation.” — Matt Cowell, CPO, EverTrue

“The transition from DonorSearch360.io to DonorSearch360+ was seamless — and the difference was immediately clear. The new interface and reporting capabilities have given our team a level of visibility into our donors that we didn’t have before. We’re more equipped than ever to build the relationships that drive our mission forward.” — Brenna Hull, Advancement Manager, Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Built for the Salesforce Ecosystem

DonorSearch360+ is a native Salesforce application available on AgentExchange. Existing customers using the legacy DonorSearch360.io integration can migrate directly, with both packages available in parallel during the transition period. The application has completed Salesforce security review and is generally available to current and new customers.

The launch reflects EverTrue’s broader commitment to helping fundraisers do their best work — wherever they work. For teams already embedded in Salesforce, DonorSearch360+ means the intelligence they need is there when they need it, without ever leaving the platform they already rely on.

Availability and Pricing

DonorSearch360+ is available now on AgentExchange. The application is included with existing DonorSearch subscriptions and uses standard screening credits (one record equals one credit). For more information, visit the app listing or contact JB Rauch, Partner Development Manager, jb.rauch@evertrue.com.

SunTec India Delivers 3M+ Annotations for a Government-Backed Highway Infrastructure Monitoring Program

Published

on

By

NEW DELHI, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SunTec India completed a major data labeling initiative for a government-backed infrastructure consulting firm, processing more than 3 million annotations with sustained 99% accuracy. The dataset will train a highway asset & damage detection model across India’s national and state highway networks.

Operating on a client-hosted CVAT platform, the team labeled highway images using bounding boxes and 4-point/multi-point polygon annotation to identify road surface damage and classify road assets in accordance with IRC82 government standards, covering 71 distinct damage and asset categories across more than 1,000 kilometers of highway corridor. 4-point annotations made up approximately 80% of the total workload, while the remaining 20% required highly detailed multi-point annotations.

The image annotation engagement began as a pilot with 4 annotators and 1 reviewer. After a successful pilot, the scope expanded sharply, and the team scaled to 35 annotators and 7 reviewers, all of whom were subject-matter experts with backgrounds in Civil Engineering. The accuracy rate held through that eightfold growth, which the company credits to a deliberate reviewer-to-annotator ratio and structured training on IRC82 standards before labeling live data.

“What I’m proudest of is that the accuracy held as the scale grew,” said Rohit Bhateja, Director of Digital Engineering Services and Head of Marketing at SunTec India. He added, “A highway isn’t uniform—weather, lighting, and wear differ by region. Labeling 71 categories across a thousand kilometers throws up thousands of edge cases, and hitting 99% accuracy there proves our human-in-the-loop workflow holds up regardless of dataset size.”

The milestone reinforces SunTec India’s position in domain-intensive data labeling for AI and machine learning applications, particularly geospatial and aerial image labeling. It also reflects growing demand for specialized AI training data, with technical annotation guidelines and dense categories. The company expects to see more demand for this kind of high-consistency labeling across regulated industries.

Established in 1999, SunTec India is an AI-enabled IT and digital services company offering intelligent data services for AI and tech platforms for AI training, ESG research, B2B sales intelligence, and document processing, as well as data management operations such as data collection, cleansing, and enrichment.
