Kettle Kick-Off 2008
THE SALVATION ARMY KICKS OFF ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN TO RAISE MUCH-NEEDED FUNDS IN SHEBOYGAN
Sheboygan, WI Oct. 31, 2008—The Salvation Army in Sheboygan announced the launch of its annual Christmas Campaign to help raise money for the poor, homeless, and others in need who often remain overlooked during the holidays and year-round.
The Kettle kick-off is November 7th at the store-side south Wal-Mart in Sheboygan. Held between 4 pm and 5 pm, a brass quintet will play holiday music and balloons will be handed out to the children.
On November 17, between 9 to 11 at the south side Wal-Mart, and the south side Piggly Wiggly look for the local DJ celebrities from the Sheboygan Radio Group. Many local groups and families are also singing up for bell ringing shifts on-line at www.sasheboygan.org.
The time-honored Christmas Campaign will include traditional fundraising methods — such as direct mail and phone appeals — as well as the highly visible Red Kettles, which have been a symbol of good will and a holiday tradition for over 100 years.
Locally, The Salvation Army in Sheboygan hopes to raise $483,000 to help sustain vital programs and services which help the needy in their daily struggle for survival.
“This is the time of year when we count our blessings and share them with those who are less fortunate,” said Heidi Cain, Development Director for The Salvation Army. “There are so many people who will have no food, gifts, or holiday joy without The Salvation Army. It is truly heartwarming to be able to count on so many generous people in our community who step forward with a donation each season to help those in need.”
With more and more families coming to The Salvation Army for help, this holiday season is expected to be one of the busiest yet. Salvation Army officials stress that any contribution will help — and donations of time are accepted as gratefully as donations of money.
“Reaching out to those in need by volunteering to ring bells is a wonderful way to connect with the community, to give back, and to share blessings and holiday joy,” said Salvation Army’s Volunteer Coordinator Mary Piehl.
About The Salvation Army:
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination since 1865. Over 31 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. About 83 cents of every dollar raised is used to support those services in more than 5,000 communities nationwide.
About the Red Kettle Campaign:
From its humble beginnings as a fundraiser started by a Salvation Army captain in San Francisco in 1891, the Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States. More than 25,000 Salvation Army volunteers fan out across the country to ring bells and solicit spare change donations to the iconic red kettles from holiday shoppers.
