Several North Idaho College Athletics teams rang the Salvation Army red kettle bells this holiday season, raising about $2,230 for the nonprofit that clothes, feeds, and shelters families.
Teammates from NIC men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and softball braved the elements since Nov. 22 at various red kettle spots such as Super 1 Foods, Fred Meyer and Walmart.

“The girls were singing Christmas carols and the community loved their spirit. Overall, it was a great experience and we cannot wait to do it again next year,” said NIC Head Softball Coach Shay Fuson.
