Royal Oak Band to Rock The Red Kettle For The Salvation Army
(Detroit, Michigan October, 27, 2012)-Metro area band, Rio & the Rockabilly Revival, is getting in the holiday spirit by signing on as celebrity bell ringers to help raise money and awareness for The Salvation Army. The group is scheduled to sing and ring on December 1st in the Village of Rochester from 11:30am to 2pm. They are
inviting music fans to come out and show their support by donating to The Salvation Army’s Christmas red kettle campaign.
The wildly popular Rio & The Rockabilly Revival most recently appeared as the house band for WXYZ-TV’s Dream Cruise coverage and are set to take center stage again for a special Christmas show at the Magic Bag Theatre in Ferndale on December 14th.
Says the band’s front woman, Rio Scafone “I'm proud to be from Michigan. It's where I learned the value of strong community.It's part of who I am. Giving back, especially at Christmas time through our music and The Salvation Army just makes sense to me. This is home. We take care of our own.”
The Salvation Army red kettle program has been an American tradition for over 100 years, helping to raise financial support for Salvation Army programs and services year round.The red kettle is an integral part of the Christmas scene in metro Detroit, with millions of dollars donated each year to aid needy families, seniors, and the homeless, in keeping with the spirit of the season. Donations provide Christmas dinners, clothing and toys for families in need. Financial assistance also helps with basic necessities, along with seasonal aid.
