Kettle Kick-Off 2008
THE SALVATION ARMY KICKS OFF ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN TO RAISE MUCH-NEEDED FUNDS IN SHEBOYGAN
Sheboygan, WI Oct. 31, 2008—The Salvation Army in Sheboygan announced the launch of its annual Christmas Campaign to help raise money for the poor, homeless, and others in need who often remain overlooked during the holidays and year-round.
The Kettle kick-off is November 7th at the store-side south Wal-Mart in Sheboygan. Held between 4 pm and 5 pm, a brass quintet will play holiday music and balloons will be handed out to the children.
On November 17, between 9 to 11 at the south side Wal-Mart, and the south side Piggly Wiggly look for the local DJ celebrities from the Sheboygan Radio Group. Many local groups and families are also singing up for bell ringing shifts on-line at www.sasheboygan.org.
The time-honored Christmas Campaign will include traditional fundraising methods — such as direct mail and phone appeals — as well as the highly visible Red Kettles, which have been a symbol of good will and a holiday tradition for over 100 years.
Locally, The Salvation Army in Sheboygan hopes to raise $483,000 to help sustain vital programs and services which help the needy in their daily struggle for survival.
“This is the time of year when we count our blessings and share them with those who are less fortunate,” said Heidi Cain, Development Director for The Salvation Army. “There are so many people who will have no food, gifts, or holiday joy without The Salvation Army. It is truly heartwarming to be able to count on so many generous people in our community who step forward with a donation each season to help those in need.”
With more and more families coming to The Salvation Army for help, this holiday season is expected to be one of the busiest yet. Salvation Army officials stress that any contribution will help — and donations of time are accepted as gratefully as donations of money.
“Reaching out to those in need by volunteering to ring bells is a wonderful way to connect with the community, to give back, and to share blessings and holiday joy,” said Salvation Army’s Volunteer Coordinator Mary Piehl.
About The Salvation Army:
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination since 1865. Over 31 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. About 83 cents of every dollar raised is used to support those services in more than 5,000 communities nationwide.
About the Red Kettle Campaign:
From its humble beginnings as a fundraiser started by a Salvation Army captain in San Francisco in 1891, the Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States. More than 25,000 Salvation Army volunteers fan out across the country to ring bells and solicit spare change donations to the iconic red kettles from holiday shoppers.

Jonas Brothers to Play Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Game to Kick Off
Jonas Brothers to Play Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Game to Kick Off
Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign
Nationally Televised Performance to Support Longest-Running Annual Fundraiser
Phoenix, AZ (October 12, 2008) – The red hot Jonas Brothers band will perform live at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game in a nationally televised halftime show that will air on Fox television network on November 27, 2008 at 3:15 pm CST, it was announced today. The performance will officially kick off the 2008 Salvation Army Red Kettle Christmas campaign, which runs nationally through Christmas Eve, December 24th.
For the past 11 years the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game halftime show has officially launched the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign on a national stage, becoming annual holiday tradition. Since the partnership began in 1997, the annual Red Kettle campaign has raised more than $1 billion, which has helped the Army to serve 30 million people each year nationwide. Last year, the campaign raised a record $118 million. Previous halftime performers include Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Destiny’s Child, Toby Keith, LeAnn Rimes, Creed, Jessica Simpson, Billy Gillman, Clint Black, Randy Travis and Reba McEntire.
“I was born in Dallas, which makes performing with my brothers at the Cowboys Halftime on Thanksgiving an in credible honor,” said Nick Jonas. Added brother Joe Jonas, “This year, more than ever, The Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign will make a huge impact for families at Christmas and throughout the year. It’s very important for us to give back.” Kevin Jonas finished, “We’d like to thank Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys, Israel Gaither, and The Salvation Army for inviting us to be part of this awesome Thanksgiving tradition. We’ll remember this for a long time to come.”
The Jonas Brothers – Kevin, Joe and Nick – will perform songs from their platinum third studio album A Little Bit Longer, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in August. Since their recording debut in 2005, Jonas Brothers have released three studio albums and stared in Camp Rock, a 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie. Additionally, Jonas Brothers will be staring in a new Disney Channel Original Series, J.O.N.A.S!, which is expected to debut on Disney Channel in Spring, 2009.
“There are no other artists more in touch with America’s youth than Jonas Brothers,” said Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones. “So, this is a great chance for us to get the word out about The Salvation Army’s vital work to a whole new generation of donors.”
The Salvation Army also announced today that Mr. Jones has agreed to serve as the national honorary Christmas chairperson. In this capacity, he will act as an advocate for the campaign at Christmas and also help to get the word out about The Salvation Army’s critical programs year-round. Mr. Jones and his family have been major supporters of The Salvation Army for more than a decade. In 1998, Mr. Jones and his wife, Gene, opened the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Center for Children – a Salvation Army child care center for low-income families in Dallas, TX. In 1999, the family received the Evangeline Booth Award, one of the Army’s highest national service honors. Mr. Jones is now an Emeritus member of The Salvation Army’s National Advisory Board and his daughter, Charlotte Jones Anderson and wife Gene currently serve as active board members.
“In addition to our excitement about Jonas Brothers helping us launch this annual campaign, we’re thrilled that Jerry Jones has agreed to serve as our national honorary Christmas chairperson,” said Lieutenant-Colonel David Jeffrey, National Chief Secretary for The Salvation Army. “Jerry, his family and the entire Dallas Cowboys organization have been great friends of the Army for many years. Their support helps the Army serve, on average, 30 million Americans in 5,000 communities nationwide each year.”
From its original beginnings as a fundraiser started by a Salvation Army captain in San Francisco in 1891, the Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States. As part of the campaign, more than 25,000 Salvation Army volunteers spread throughout the country to ring bells daily and solicit spare change donations to the iconic red kettles from holiday shoppers. In 2007, the campaign raised more than $118 million nationwide, a new record supported by the public’s nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars (and the occasional diamond ring or gold tooth) all collected and used to help people in the communities where they were raised. Last year, the funds helped The Salvation Army provide food, clothing, toys and other assistance to nearly 29 million Americans in need. In addition to physical kettles, donors can also contribute online at www.salvationarmyusa.org or through a virtual red kettle on any number of corporate or individual websites and Facebook pages.
