Queen City Ringers is an incorporated non-profit, tax-exempt (501-c) community group and is not affiliated with any church or other organization. Your contributions to the group are tax deductible. With the amount of equipment necessary, in addition to storing, transporting, upgrading, maintaining group expenses is an on-going challenge.

GIVE-A-BELL Program

For those wishing to make a lasting contribution, an individual or company may choose to purchase one or more handbells in honor of or in memory of special people in their lives. Each bell given will include an inscription in the handle of the bell. This inscription is printed in script on gold leaf paper and may include up to three lines of 30 spaces or characters per line of copy. Should the handle ever need to be replaced, the inscription will be inserted into the new handle. This inscription will stay with the bell for its entire life, which is forever. 

Handbells range in price from $200 to $4,500 each, with the majority of bells costing less than $300. For more information on this program, Contact Us.
