If you have ever worked in or experienced a true community
emergency then you know the value of The Salvation Army and their commitment to
this community.
The Salvation Army has a
solid history of standing ready at a moment’s notice to help this community in
the event of disaster or hardship.
The Santa Cruz Police Department is proud to be named an
honoree for the 2013 Kettle Kickoff event.

The event was held today (Monday November 25th)
at the Cocoanut Grove. KSBW’s Jim Vanderzwaan
was as smooth and easy as any tropical island weather report as he served as this year's Master of Ceremonies. The Salvation Army’s brass band set the mood
with festive Christmas Carols at the start of the event, starring the Police Department's own bugler, Officer Pat Bayani...see if you can pick him out.
All-in-All a great event by a great community
partner. We know the Santa Cruz community to be a compassionate one. If you are looking for a place where your donation dollar will do a lot of true good...The Salvation Army is one such organization. We are grateful for their recognition
and dedication to the Santa Cruz area.
