Major Michael is ready for tonight's game!

While we are cheering hard for the team, our deepest thanks are with our wonderful Dane County community. We are two weeks out from the Red Kettle Kickoff!

How does bell-ringing help? With an average of $73 raised per hour, just a two-hour shift can provide two nights of shelter, while one hour can help feed 10 neighbors in shelter.

The Salvation Army's Red Kettles are a part of American popular culture and when our bells ring, they signal the approaching Christmas season.

Every shift makes a difference for families in need. Before the holiday rush begins, sign up to ring the bell and help us bring hope and joy to our community this season.
