11 Alive's 32nd annual Can-a-Thon for the Salvation Army collected more than 229,000 cans this year, the most in its history.

I stopped by Turner Field Friday morning in misty overcast weather and took some snapshots of the 11 Alive crew, the volunteers and V-103, which helps out every year as well to get the word out.
