Peoria Rivermen News Release


Peoria, Ill. (December 1, 2008) - Director of Community Relations/Game Operations Lisa Broadhurst has announced that Matt Foy, Charles Linglet, Jim Jackson, Alexandre Imbeault, Alexander Hellstrom and Josh Soares will all be appearing at the Northwoods Mall food court tonight to ring bells and help raise donations for the Salvation Army.

Representatives from the Rivermen will be participating in the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign from 4-8 p.m. Foy, Linglet and Jackson will be there from 5-6 p.m. while Imbeault, Hellstrom and Soares will appear from 6-7 p.m.

The bell ringing follows another successful "Coats for Kids" drive that took place at the Rivermen game on Friday night.

The Red Kettle Christmas Campaign enables the Army to provide food, toys and clothing to over 6 million people during the Christmas season and helps more than 34 million Americans recovering from all kinds of personal disasters nationwide.

The Red Kettle campaign, first started in San Francisco in 1891, has traditionally been The Salvation Army's most prominent fund-raiser. In 2004, the campaign raised over $100 million in communities nationwide, with the nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars all remaining in the towns where the money was deposited into the kettles. The funds raised help support many of the 37 million people in poverty who turn to the Army for food and toys at Christmas, utility and homeless assistance, senior and child care, drug abuse treatment and many other social service needs.

The Rivermen are home this weekend for games on both Friday and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the Peoria Civic Center Box Office, by calling (309) 676-1040 or online at www.rivermen.net.
