The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show
Grammy, ACM, and CMA Award winner and reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson will perform live at AT&T Stadium for The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Kickoff Halftime Show during the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants, airing on Fox. The Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game has become the most-watched regular season game of the year, drawing 42 million viewers last year.
Wilson’s performance will celebrate the reason for the season, featuring songs from her new album, “Whirlwind,” and a special surprise guest. Fans should expect to see bell-bottoms, boots, and lots of bells this Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving Day game marks the official start of one of the largest and longest-running annual fundraisers of its kind, the Red Kettle Campaign. A Cowboys tradition for 28 years, the halftime show puts a national spotlight on the needs of millions during the holiday season and all year long, issuing a rallying cry to donate to The Salvation Army. With the help of the Dallas Cowboys, The Salvation Army has raised more than $3 billion since the Red Kettle Kickoff began.
“It’s an honor to follow in the footsteps of legendary performers like my friend Dolly Parton, The Jonas Brothers, and Reba, of course, to kick off The Salvation Army’s iconic Red Kettle Campaign,” Wilson shared. “Join me at the Red Kettle this Christmas season because we truly can do more good when we come together to serve those in need in our communities.”
“Performers like Lainey Wilson represent the next generation of role models for so many,” said Charlotte Jones, chief brand officer and co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys and former national advisory board chairperson for The Salvation Army. “We are so thankful to have her energy and enthusiasm on our national stage this year to highlight the Red Kettle Kickoff and the importance of giving back to those who need it most.”
With five fewer giving days this season, donations to The Salvation Army at one of its iconic Red Kettles or online are needed to meet the increasing needs of families struggling to make ends meet.
The following options are available for those wishing to support their neighbors in need:
Donate with cash, coins, and checks or digitally with Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo at any Red Kettle across the country.
Provide Christmas gifts to children of local families in need through The Salvation Army Angel Tree. You can also contact your local Salvation Army about volunteering to distribute donated Angel Tree gifts.
Contact your local Salvation Army to volunteer at a Red Kettle or visit RegisterToRing.com.
Ask Amazon’s Alexa to donate by saying, “Alexa, donate to The Salvation Army,” and then specifying the amount.
Sign up for a sustaining gift of $25 a month at Give.SalvationArmyUSA.org.

Every donation stays in the community to provide help and hope for those in need. To learn more, give help, or get help, please visit www.SalvationArmyUSA.org.

‘Topaz: A Spectrum in Stone’ Exhibit Set to Dazzle at the Perot Museum
“Topaz: A Spectrum in Stone,” presented by Texas Counter Fitters, opens Wednesday, October 16, 2024, and runs through October 14, 2025, in the Lyda Hill Gems and Minerals Hall.
The exhibit celebrates the global discoveries of topaz from Texas, across America and
worldwide including Pakistan, Argentina, Namibia, Brazil, Russia and many other countries. Like many of the gems and minerals at the Perot Museum, these specimens are on loan from
generous and renowned private collectors throughout the world, willing to share their
awe-inspiring specimens with the public.
There’s a selection of topaz crystals from Volyn, a renowned region in Ukraine, famous for its large caverns of massive topaz.
Blue topaz is the state gem of Texas and the Perot Museum is proud to highlight the Lone Star
State’s geological discoveries. A variety of other colors can be found across the Lone Star
State, including clear or white topaz–the most common color of the crystal.
Patrons can enjoy the great gamut of topaz specimens from around the world and admire their
natural brilliance at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The Museum recommends that
visitors plan their trip in advance due to the popularity of the collection. More details can be
found at perotmuseum.org.
