Quincy College to participate in Salvation Army 'Christmas in July' event on July 28th
Quincy College is extending their annual tradition of bell ringing on behalf of the Salvation Army joining the local community in participating in the "Christmas in July" campaign. Quincy College President Peter H. Tsaffaras, J.D. and Bette Campbell from Quincy Access Television will be acting as "kettle captains" on July 28th from 12:00pm - 1:00pm outside the Quincy Sun Offices located at 1372 Hancock St, Quincy, MA 02169. Kettle captains have committed to raising $100 during their one hour shift bell ringing.
The Salvation Army's of Massachusetts' Christmas in July event is a one day campaign to benefit local Salvation Army services such as emergency services, youth programs, and food pantry services.
President Peter H. Tsaffaras reflects on cultivating a Quincy College culture of giving back and the importance of supporting local South Shore programs, like the Salvation Army of Massachusetts:
"What started as an annual tradition for Quincy College to join in the Salvation Army's efforts of giving back to those who are a bit less fortunate during the holiday season has transitioned to a year-round emphasis on supporting those in need in our local community. Need is not dictated by the time of year. The Christmas in July event reminds us that support is needed year-round in raising critical funds for services like emergency services, youth programs, and the local food pantry. I'm honored to participate in this event as a kettle captain and look forward to continuing to support local programs here in Quincy and on the South Shore year-round."
