Telling Boss I Can’t Come for A Shift

I have been home for the summer from college and working as a cashier at a grocery store. I leave in a couple weeks for college and told my boss this. Parents told me last night my niece is having a birthday party this Sunday afternoon where I am scheduled from afternoon to late night. Called boss today to explain and ask if they can get someone to cover and they said they could not. I am considering calling the boss tonight and saying that I will not be coming in and if that causes them to fire me so be it. How likely would you say I am to be fired because of this?
