Tin Cup Lunch is a simple lunch of soup, bread and beverages at a local hotel.

The Christmas Kettle Campaign is the traditional Red Kettle fundraiser that provides major financial support for The Salvation Army of Dane County. Beginning in mid-November and concluding on Christmas Eve, hundreds of volunteer Bell Ringers and generous donors make this event a success each year. The Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is our newest fundraising event that features friendly competition in a family-oriented atmosphere.
