Affair: Rock the Red Kettle Concert

When: Saturday, December 6, 2014

Hot Spot: L.A. LIVE, LA

Deets: It’s time to get those bells rocking and ringing this holiday season during the fifth annual Rock the Red Kettle concert hosted by The Salvation Army. This year’s free concert will take place on December 6 at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. Taking the stage are some of music’s rising stars including headliners Shawn Mendes, Becky G, R5, and Bea Miller.

This year, The Salvation Army is encouraging its supporters to share their motivations for giving using the hashtag #RedKettleReason, whether it is to help families in need or to ensure that all kids have a safe place to sleep. This year’s Rock the Red Kettle performers will participate by sharing their own #RedKettleReasons throughout the holiday season and inviting their fans to do the same. Fans can also win awesome prizes for sharing #RedKettleReasons in the weeks before the concert. 

Rock the Red Kettle will raise awareness of The Salvation Army’s 124th annual Red Kettle Campaign, the oldest charitable fundraiser of its kind in the United States. Money raised during the campaign helps the Army serve nearly 30 million of America’s most vulnerable through an array of social services including food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless and toys for children.

The concert will be streamed live on RedKettleReason.org so young philanthropists across the country can join in on the fun. In addition to giving online or to the more than 25,000 bell ringers found on street corners and retail entrances across the country, supporters can donate through the Army’s text-to-give program. By texting the word “KETTLE” to 80888, donors can send $10 to the Red Kettle Campaign through December 24.

Who You May Spot: Shawn Mendes, Becky G, R5, Bea Miller
