To celebrate its 125th anniversary, The Salvation Army of Wake County in Raleigh, N.C., launched Kettles on Parade, a community art project and contest. Starting March 30, groups, families or individuals can adopt and decorate a kettle, and enter it into the contest. The kettles will be displayed in various outlets throughout the community to remind people that help is needed year-round, not just at Christmas.
The top three artist winners will receive recognition and the top fundraising winner will receive a cash prize of $500.
