The hosting churches will provide meals, a comfortable bed and an opportunity to meet new friends across the country.
The Bell Ringers have supported the tour through various fundraising projects, squeezed in between twice-weekly rehearsals, numerous local performances and a myriad of high school activities. Some of the fundraisers include:
- Two huge rummage sales which raised some $20,000
- Rent-A-Ringer (kids hired themselves out to do odd jobs)
- A Valentine's dance and dinner
- Pancake breakfasts
- Christmas gift wrap sales
