SOUTHFIELD – The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit is giving its 118-year-old Red Kettle Campaign a 21st Century facelift with the introduction of Coin Catch, an interactive, online game that will help raise money for metro Detroiters in need. The game is the first Salvation Army fundraiser of its kind in the country.
“The Coin Catch game makes giving fun for people of all ages,” said Major John Turner, general secretary for The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit. “With an increased need of 60 percent this year we wanted to think ‘outside the kettle’ to help meet our $7.8 million goal. Coin Catch will be a great benefit to our Red Kettle Campaign not only during this season but for years to come.”
The objective of Coin Catch is to catch falling coins in a red kettle at the bottom of your screen. As the game goes on you have to avoid catching nails and other unpleasant items and it becomes more difficult to catch the coins. At the end of the game, the total amount of money caught in your red kettle will be donated to The Salvation Army by a matching sponsor, up to $7,000, courtesy of an anonymous donor. The player is then given an opportunity to make a donation or play again.
