Leesburg Town Council Raises More Than $1,300 for “Red
Kettle Campaign”
Leesburg, VA (December 24, 2020) – Members of the Leesburg
Town Council held a friendly competition during this year’s “Red
Kettle Campaign”, the Salvation Army’s annual holiday fundraiser.
Council member Neil Steinberg, incoming members Kari Nacy and
Zach Cummings, Vice Mayor Fernando “Marty” Martinez, and
Mayor Kelly Burk helped collect donations at the Leesburg
Safeway and Giant stores.
Together, they raised $1,346.42, which will go to those in need
right here in Loudoun County. The participant with the most
donations was Mayor Kelly Burk who collected $438.70.
“Congratulations to the Leesburg Town Council members who
participated in the Salvation Army Red Kettle fundraiser. The
money raised will be used to help so many Leesburg families,”
Burk said. “Although I won, we all have bragging rights to how we accomplished this goal
together to raise money to help our fellow residents in need.”
Funds raised with the “Red Kettle Campaign” will help to sustain local programming that serves
the Loudoun County communities throughout the year. To learn more about the history of the
