“Wow! What an honor to get to kick off The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign with the halftime show during the Dallas Cowboys game this Thanksgiving,” Dolly shared in a statement. “Those Red Kettles have long been a symbol of hope for our friends and neighbors who are facing hard times. My goal is to encourage everyone who can to donate and support their neighbors in need. Every small act of generosity helps, and together, we can all love our neighbors this holiday season and beyond.”
This marks Dolly‘s first halftime show performance. She was supposed to join Katy Perry at the 2015 Super Bowl, but backed out as her husband was ill at the time.

The annual halftime show serves as the Salvation Army‘s Red Kettle kickoff as the holiday season gets underway.
The organization raises money each year to help provide social services, Christmas gifts, food and shelter, as well as rent and utility assistance to millions of people struggling during the holiday season and beyond.
