The Bryan/College Station Salvation Army’s mayor’s red kettle ring-off the Saturday before last receives national recognition. National commanding officer Ken Hodde announced in a Salvation Army video that the almost 84 thousand dollars that was raised was the most in his national red kettle challenge.
What was raised also represented 42 percent of the B/CS Salvation Army goal, which was the second highest percentage in the country. While we don’t know how much was contributed in each city, the winner of this year’s local mayor’s ring-off was the city of Bryan.
