Quad Cities, USA: VON MAUR, the locally owned fashion department store, will sponsor their first-ever Red Kettle Match Day for The Salvation Army of the Quad Cities.

On December 23rd and 24th, VON MAUR will make a dollar-for-dollar match to Quad Cities red kettles at Northpark and Southpark Malls. The four locations include the 4-foot tall red kettles inside the malls and the food court kettles.

During these difficult economic times, donations are needed now more than ever as the need for the services of The Salvation Army continues to rise. The Salvation Army asks the community to raise awareness for this first-ever challenge by VON MAUR in order to maximize gifts made to The Salvation Army of the Quad Cities.

Jim von Maur states, "We have seen the good work of The Salvation Army first-hand and are proud to support their fine organization and all they do for the community."

Major Gary Felton, Quad Cities Coordinator is "so pleased to have our first annual match from a notable business in our community. We hope other businesses will contact us to do the same. We can be reached at 563-271-7933."
