December 17, 2020 11:14 AM Site staff
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) Riverfest First Mates and Commodores will engage in some friendly competition Friday to raise money for The Salvation Army as the Red Kettle Campaign begins its final week.
Riverfest Commodores, First Mates, and many members of the Riverfest Board of Directors will be ringing bells at all four Festival Foods locations in La Crosse County, competing to see who can bring in the most donations to support the La Crosse community. Prior to the match day, the entire group has secured a generous anonymous donor to match the community donations raised on that day up to $10,000. This year they are continuing their tradition at the kettles and to make the match, they are offering a Virtual Red Kettle to run Wednesday through Friday.

This year, nonprofit organizations like The Salvation Army need more help than ever. The group helps hundreds of people in the Paris community each month, giving away clothing vouchers and hosting a Soup Kitchen for families in need of food assistance â to name just two efforts.
Shoppers at local stores, like Walmart, have undoubtedly seen bell ringers outside, volunteering their time and braving the cold for the annual Red Kettle Campaign. If a large donation isnât in the cards this year, consider taking the change from a purchase and dropping it in the kettle, which collects money for the Salvation Armyâs programs.
Lowder says individuals can also make a donation to the kettles using Apple or Google pay or can start their own virtual kettle to collect donations.
If unable to reach their goal by the end of the year, Lowder says she would need to cut some services and programs that would be sorely missed by individuals in Stutsman County.
