Daughtry to Kickoff Campaign with Nationally Televised Halftime Performance During Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Game

NEW YORK, November 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dallas Cowboys and The Salvation Army previously announced that the Grammy-nominated band Daughtry will be the featured act for the 13th annual performance to kickoff the annual Red Kettle Christmas campaign on Thanksgiving Day. The nationally televised performance will take place during the halftime of the Cowboys game versus the Oakland Raiders which will air on CBS starting at 4:15 ET. This will be the first Thanksgiving game to be played in the new, $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium.

For the past 12 years, the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game halftime show has officially launched the Red Kettle Christmas campaign on a national stage, becoming an annual holiday tradition. Since the partnership began in 1997, the annual Red Kettle campaign has raised more than $1.2 billion, which has helped the Army serve 30 million people each year nationwide.

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 Christmas 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, a record $130 million was raised, despite the economic recession. The Salvation Army hopes to top that number this year. For more information, please visit http://www.salvationarmyusa.org
