Cape Cod Baseball League Teams to Assist
Salvation Army with Holiday Bell-Ringing
HYANNIS, Mass. – The Cape Cod Baseball League will once again assist the Salvation Army with its Red Kettle Christmas Campaign during the holiday season on Cape Cod.
Sixty percent of the Salvation Army’s annual operational budget is funded by the Red Kettles campaign, which provides food, toys and clothing to more than six million people during the Christmas season and helps more than 34 million Americans recover from personal and natural disasters.
The campaign raises more than $100 million annually in communities nationwide, with nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars remaining in the towns where the money was deposited into kettles.
Here is the schedule for the Cape Cod Baseball League Bell Ringers.
