NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — NewsChannel 5's Red Kettle Challenge is taking place on Wednesday, December 6!
We hope you'll come see us at the Kroger on Franklin Road in Brentwood as we ring the bells and take donations for the Salvation Army's annual campaign.
This year, NewsChannel 5 is asking you to help us raise $1,000 to provide hope to families across our community and help stop the events that could lead to life changes that are not for the better.
If you can't make it, don't worry! You can donate online as well.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
