This year we have two ways to participate in the Salvation Army Kettle fundraising, the traditional Bell Ringing effort of course and a virtual method. The COVID 19 Pandemic has posed some challenges for the Salvation Army this year, in regards to the bell ringing scheduled on 12/19/20. We secured three locations and fortunately all the shifts at these three locations have been filled. The Rotary Club of Tucson has stepped up with volunteering to ring the bells once again this year. THANK YOU!YOU STILL CAN PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY:
If you would prefer to stay home this year, a virtual Kettle Donation site has been set up. You will be able to make on-line donations and send the link to friends and family in an email or copy and post it on your social media platforms as well. We are set up as a team "Rotary Club of Tucson", our link should default to this, as well as default to your donation going to Salvation Army Tucson. You can add yourself as a member of the team or just donate. The link to donate and that you can copy and paste is, https://give-sw.salvationarmy.org/team/331869. All donations are recognized as being from RCOT and will be combined with our actual kettle bell ringing collections for a total that we know will benefit the Salvation Army's programs and hope will once again earn us a position as the leader in collection efforts. Yes, this is a competition as well and we are the reigning champions for Kettle Donations amongst local service clubs and organizations. This year we are getting a bit of a late start and there are some with a distance ahead of us so we have some catching up to do. Let's get at it.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact your Kettle Captains Kurtis Dawson, Kurtisd@tucsonymca.org and Cindy Barbee (520)240-6303.
