Monday Morning (December 16, 2019) James Rabe and a host of Rochester Celebrities will be inside the world's largest Salvation Army Red Kettle.

Why is the kettle in town and why is James Rabe inside it? Easy.  Thursday and Friday are match days for Mayo Clinic. Everything you donate those days will be matched by Mayo Clinic. And this year...the match is UNLIMITED! Which is huge news for the Rochester Salvation Army...but there's a hitch in the plan.

The number of ringers signed up isn't enough to cover all the Red Kettles those two days! Please, register to ring by clicking HERE. It is vital to cover all the shifts and make the most of this match.

So, listen to Y-105FM, Rochester's Christmas Station, from 6 - 9 AM today and hear all the guests...Betsy Singer from ABC 6 News, the Mayor, the Sheriff, and so many more. PLUS, and this is a virtual miracle, Miley Cyrus and Eric Clapton may perform (not guaranteed, travel issues may arise)! Jessica Williams will be running the show and James Rabe will be broadcasting from inside the ENORMOUS Kettle
