Live Performance Launches 115-year-old Fundraising Campaign

NEW YORK, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Country music star Carrie Underwood will be the featured performer for the 10th annual, nationally televised Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game half-time show to officially kick off the annual Salvation Army Red Kettle Christmas fundraising campaign for 2006.

Since 1997, the Red Kettle campaign has been launched each year as part of a special live concert at Texas Stadium during the traditional NFL holiday game, this year pitting the Cowboys against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This decade long tradition has raised nearly $900 million benefiting more than 335 million people with help from renowned entertainers such as Reba McEntire, Jessica Simpson, Toby Keith, Destiny's Child, and Sheryl Crow among others. As part of this year's celebration, Ms. Underwood will perform songs from her quadruple platinum album, Some Hearts, to help to raise money in the kettles for holiday toys, coats, rental and utility assistance, and many other Salvation Army social services.

The Red Kettle Campaign has been one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States since its inception in 1891. Every holiday season, 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. Last year, the campaign raised a record $111 million.
