ROCHESTER, Minn. – More than $239,000 came in during the final two days of the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle fundraising project in Rochester. The surge in part was public sympathy after a pair of thieves stole a red kettle at Apache Mall. Also: Mayo clinic offered $100,000 in a match gift. The Mayo donation was earmarked for the Salvation Army’s Good Samaritan Health Clinic. The cliic provides emergency medical, dental and pharmaceutical services to uninsured and under-insured people.
