Five Salvation Army volunteer bell ringers have fought through 53 hours of nonstop bell ringing to raise awareness for The Salvation Army’s 120th Red Kettle Campaign and set a new world record. They’ve crushed the previous record of 36 hours, established last year. Their efforts are courageous, and will help The Salvation Army assist millions of people this Christmas.
