Donors Offer $7,000 Matching Challenge to Salvation Army

Cade, left, and Michael Marit ring The Salvation Army bells at Pick ‘N Save in Sturgeon Bay. Submitted.

Two generous donors have stepped forward with a challenge of matching donations up to $7,000 for the last seven days of The Salvation Army Red Kettle Christmas campaign. The dates run from Dec. 17 through Dec. 24. Having donations being doubled helps create an incentive to not pass by the kettles this last week before Christmas. The money collected stays in Door County to help those in need. If interested in bell ringing, contact Nancy Kexel-Calabresa at 920.883.7886. For anyone who would like to make a direct tax-deductible contribution, checks can be made to The Salvation Army and sent to Tom Mulinix, 509 W. Walnut Drive, Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235.
