The holiday season officially began at Love Park on Saturday as the Salvation Army kicked off its 2025 Red Kettle Campaign — an effort to raise thousands of dollars to support families in need across the Philadelphia region.

CBS News Philadelphia staff members joined the celebration, serving as celebrity bell ringers and helping spread the word about the campaign, which runs through the holidays.

"I always donate when I see a Salvation Army bucket," Marie Dezzi, who attended the kickoff event, said. "It's always just part of Christmas — hearing the bells, and knowing that we give to others who aren't as able to do what we do together as a family."
