A sure sign of the upcoming holidays is about to make its first appearance. Tonight the Salvation Army of the Quad Cities will kick-off its annual Red Kettle Campaign.
Each year the campaign raises nearly two-thirds of the Salvation Army's annual budget.
The kickoff ceremony will be held at Northpark Mall in Davenport, and the goal will be announced by Bettendorf mayor Bob Gallagher and Moline Mayor Scott Raes.
The ceremony begins at 6:30 pm, near J.C. Penney's.
Last year's Red Kettle Campaign raised 752,000 dollars.
