all have used their God-given talents to

touch the hearts of audiences everywhere.

Meanwhile, The Actors Fund, this year’s

Pinnacle of Achievement honoree, has been

serving entertainers and performers in need for

over 130 years.

In 2015, The Salvation Army will

commemorate its worldwide Sesquicentennial

anniversary. We will celebrate those who have

given to The Salvation Army, as well as the suc-

cess and triumphs of those who have received.

We will use our first 150 years as a foundation

and a guide so that we may move forward in

continuing to serve people in the Greater New

York area. The future will undoubtedly present

new and different challenges, but with the

continued support from friends and colleagues

like all of you here tonight, we are confident

that we will meet those challenges and improve

the lives of those in our communities in new

and exciting ways.

We are humbled and grateful for the

work and sacrifices made by the people of

Greater New York and we are inspired by the

generosity of our donors. With your help, The

Salvation Army has tirelessly served countless

people and communities to meet basic needs,

engender change, instill hope, and provide a

foundation for healing and growth. We look

forward to doing the same in the New Year.

Merry Christmas and God bless you!

With warmest regards,

Lt. Colonels Guy D. & Henrietta KlemanskiGREATER NEW YORK DIVISIONAL LEADERS

Dear Friends,

What a sensational tribute to a great organization! The Actors Fund is such an invaluable organization, and to be recognized by a leader in the field of charitable giving like The Salvation Army is truly fantastic.

My very best wishes to everyone here at tonight’s Gala. And let me offer a special round of applause to The Actors Fund for all it has meant to our industry. Bravo!

December 1, 2014

Dear Friends,

I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to The Actors Fund on receiving The Salvation Army’s Pinnacle of Achievement Award.

How wonderful that this great organization, which has gallantly performed “backstage” for so many decades, will be in the spotlight. As an actor, I can’t think of any recipient more deserving, or more appropriate, considering the sim-ilarities in the missions of these two beloved organizations. For people in need, crisis or transition, The Actors Fund and The Salvation Army have been there, treating all who turn to them with dignity and respect.

I wish I could be there to share in the festivities of your Gala and to give my standing ovation to The Fund as it is honored, but please know I am with you in spirit.

With warmest regards,

Vanessa Williams

Dear Friends,

Congratulations to The Actors Fund on receiving The Salvation Army’s Pinnacle of Achievement Award. It’s heartwarming to see these two great organizations stand side-by-side and take a bow for the incredible difference they have made in the lives of thousands. Both of these organizations have been so influential serving people in need with compassion and without discrimination.

I send love to all of you at the Gala and my applause to The Actors Fund on its latest, well-deserved honor.

Warmest regards,

Tony Danza



To The Salvation Army & The Actors Fund,

Both of these organizations have been dear to me over the years. I served on the Board of Directors of The Actors Fund and remain a Life Member. I only left the board because I felt I couldn’t give enough quality time to their wonderful work. As for The Salva-tion Army, my interest and admiration began with the experience of my brother in 1967. During the terrible race riots in Detroit, my brother was in the National Guard and saw the action firsthand. There were a few trucks handing out coffee and doughnuts, but only for a price. The soldiers had been without food for almost twenty-four hours. These “mercy” groups were lucky to get out with their trucks intact… the soldiers were angry.

Only The Salvation Army was there giving comfort, hot coffee, and food, free of charge. And they gave to all, whether they were soldiers trying to keep the peace, police, firemen, or any civilians begging for help to save their homes. If people were in trouble,The Army was there for them. My brother is not a particularly religious man, but on that terrible night, he saw what real Christian good-ness could accomplish. It changed him for the better. And it cer-tainly reinforced my commitment to my fellow men and women. I feel privileged to be counted among the friends of The Salvation Army and urge others to join in their wonderful work.

Sincerely,

Edward Herrmann

serious medical problems. Named for Kathie

lee’s daughter, Cassidy’s Place is the home of

the Association to Benefit Children’s (ABC)

friend and supporter of The Salvation Army.

As part of The ToDAY Show’s “Shine a light”

eraged her newest book, Good Gifts: One Year in the Heart of a Home, to generate hundreds

of thousands of dollars for The Salvation Army.

relief work.

the pinnacle of achievement award the actors fund

During the late 1800s, the united

States was still recovering from the

devastating effects of the Civil War.

Although the theater business was booming,

the theatrical profession suffered a tremendous

setback when President lincoln was assassi-

nated by an actor, John Wilkes Booth.

Prejudices against the profession existed

prior to that time, but lincoln’s death rekin-

dled the old hatreds and added more fuel to

the fire. Because of their low standing, mem-

bers of the profession were regularly denied

charity from most institutions, including many

religious organizations. It was not unusual for

them to be refused a decent burial.

In 1879, a new theatrical paper The New York Dramatic Mirror arrived on the

scene. A young NYu freshman, harrison

Grey Fiske, submitted an article and soon after

was writing regularly for the paper. When one

third of The Mirror’s stock became available,

his father bought it and Fiske became the

paper’s editor. Knowing the critical problems

facing the profession, he immediately began

a campaign for an “Actors Fund.” Thanks to

Fiske’s persistence and foresight, The ACTOrS

FuND was founded on June 8, 1882.

A StRONG StARt

This newly created charity immediately

began providing assistance to individuals and

families. By 1887, it purchased a cemetery

in Brooklyn ensuring that no one would be

without a proper burial. The first Actors Fund

home on Staten Island was dedicated in 1902.

This was made possible, in part, by the success-

ful 1892 Fair, held at Madison Square Garden,

which raised over $163,000. This was the

first time that the profession was overwhelm-

ingly accepted by society. In attendance were

President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Mr. and

Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Andrew Carnegie, J.

Pierpont Morgan, and Cornelius vanderbilt.

Special Benefit performances around

the country and a series of hugely successful

fairs filled the coffers of The Fund so it could

continue to provide assistance to entertain-

ment professionals. The 1907 Fair, opened by

President Theodore roosevelt, raised nearly

$64,000. The 1917 Fair was opened by Presi-

dent Woodrow Wilson, who pressed a button

in Washington, D.C. The button unfurled

flags of the united States and its allies. The

performance was the Star Spangled Banner,

sung by louise homer.

In 1916, the Motion Picture Campaign

for The Fund created a “roman Spectacle”

production of Julius Caesar in the natural

amphitheatre in los Angeles. There were two

roman legions and hundreds of dancing

girls in the cast headed by William Farnum,

Tyrone Power, and Douglas Fairbanks. Fifteen

thousand dollars was sent to The Fund. The

Actors’ National Memorial Day was organized

in 1919 to thank the entertainment profession

for giving so freely of its time and talent to sell

war bonds. Four hundred thousand dollars was

donated to The Fund.

Nineteen twenty-seven brought the

first Fund benefit under the Actors’ equity

Contract. The play was Porgy. In 1928, The

Actors Fund home was relocated from Staten

Island to englewood, New Jersey. By 1959, the

home needed to be expanded. It was rebuilt

as a modern structure, which was dedicated

in 1961. The Percy Williams home closed

its long Island facility and constructed a new

wing at The Actors Fund home in 1975, fur-

ther expanding The Fund’s ability to provide

services to the elderly.

ChANGING tIMES

By The Fund’s Centennial there was a

tremendous need for a nursing facility as well

as for professionalizing the delivery of human

services to the entertainment community.

Thanks to two spectacular productions of

Night of 100 Stars in 1982 and 1984, which

featured hundreds of artists, The Fund raised

$1,801,000 most of the money needed to

construct a new nursing wing in englewood.

The new wing opened to great fanfare in 1988

as Philadelphia’s edwin Forrest home merged

december 1, 2014 15

with The Actors Fund home and contributed

$1,750,000 for construction and endowment.

When the AIDS crisis hit in the 1980s,

The Fund was there to help people in the

industry who were affected. It helped found

Broadway Cares in 1988, and established its

own AIDS initiative. In 1990, the third edition

of Night of 100 Stars raised $390,000 to help

meet the needs of those suffering with hIv/

AIDS. Broadway Cares/equity Fights AIDS

remains The Fund’s strongest partner in caring

for people with this devastating disease and

other health issues.

A PERIOD OF NEW GROWth

The 1990s was a dynamic decade for The

Fund. The Phyllis Newman Women’s health

Initiative was created. The Free health Clinic

was founded to provide health care to the

uninsured and under insured. The Aurora

(now The Dorothy ross Friedman residence)

in New York City and The Palm view in hol-

lywood were developed to provide affordable

housing to clients in need. The Actors Work

Program (AWP) was brought under The Fund

umbrella in 1998, and The Artists health

Insurance resource Center (AhIrC) was

created to provide a comprehensive Web-based

informational guide to health insurance.

In 2003, The Actors Fund Work Program

launched the “looking Ahead” program to

advise younger performers on how to plan

for their future. The Free health Clinic in

New York was expanded and renamed The Al

hirschfeld Free health Clinic in honor of that

great theatrical artist.

The Fund continues to evolve with

and respond to the particular needs of the

entertainment community. The Dancers’

resource, a program founded by Trustee

Bebe Neuwirth in 2007, provides services

that address the distinctive needs of dancers

facing health problems and injuries. In 2008,

The howl emergency life Project (helP)

was created to provide emergency financial

assistance and social-service support to artists

who have participated in the annual howl

Festival or who make their careers in New

York City’s east village and lower east Side

arts community. And in 2009, The Actors

Fund housing Development Corporation was

established as a subsidiary of The Fund, with

a mission to develop affordable, supportive,

and senior housing for the performing arts and

entertainment community.

Today, The Actors Fund is the national

nonprofit human-services organization that

provides for the welfare of all entertainment

professionals. The Fund helps people in film,

theater, television, music, opera, and dance.

It assists performers, as well as those who

work behind the scenes. Its broad spectrum of

programs include comprehensive social services,

health services, supportive and affordable

housing, employment and training services, and

skilled nursing and assisted-living care. The

Fund also makes emergency grants for essential

needs. Administered from offices in New York,

los Angeles, and Chicago, The Actors Fund’s

mission is to help “all professionals in perform-

ing arts and entertainment. The Fund is a safety

net, providing programs and services for those

who are in need, crisis or transition.”

The Fund’s future is bright and the new

projects and programs under exploration are

exciting. To quote founder harrison Grey

Fiske: “even in prosperous times, the need for

an Actors Fund arises.” N


the community service award jameel mcclain

JAMeel McClAIN is one of the most

electric and versatile linebackers in the

National Football league. In 2012/2013,

Jameel helped the Baltimore ravens reach, and

ultimately capture, Super Bowl XlvII, and this

season he is projected to start for the New York

Giants with the hopes of leading “Big Blue”

back to the playoffs after a two-year hiatus.

While he is at a great place in both his career

and his life, Jameel did not get to where he is to-

day without hard work, incredible perseverance,

a big dream, and an even bigger heart.

In and out of Salvation Army shelters as a

youngster in North Philadelphia, Jameel knew

it was up to him to change his life for the bet-

ter, so he adopted “hard work” as his mantra.

he worked hard in high school, both academ-

ically and athletically, and earned a scholarship

to Syracuse university. While at Syracuse,

Jameel worked hard to succeed both on the

football field and in the classroom. however,

when the 2008 NFl Draft came around, Ja-

meel’s name was never called. Instead of letting

this deter him from his dream of playing in

the NFl, Jameel used it as motivation, worked

even harder, and earned himself a spot on the

Baltimore ravens roster the only undrafted

rookie to do so.

As a raven, Jameel recorded 192 tackles,

45 sacks, a franchise record two safeties, and

helped the team to numerous playoff appear-

ances and the Super Bowl. Toward the end of

the 2012 season, Jameel suffered a spinal cord

contusion and was told he may never play foot-

ball again. Instead of throwing in the towel,

however, Jameel continue to work, rehabbed

his injury, and stayed faithful that his NFl

story was not yet complete. After week seven

of the 2013 season, less than a year removed

from his injury, Jameel returned to the gridiron

and started for the remainder of the season.

That is just who Jameel is. In March 2014,

Jameel signed a new deal and will continue

living his story with the New York Giants.

While his own hard work and perse-

verance have earned him tremendous oppor-

tunities in life, Jameel knows that he did not

get to where he is today without the help of

others. To honor those who have helped, and

to uplift those who are less fortunate, Jameel is

committed to giving back to the community.

reaching back to his own personal experience

with homelessness, while in Baltimore Jameel

built a strong partnership with The Salvation

Army as an ambassador of its annual red

Kettle Campaign. utilizing the reach of The

Salvation Army, as well as other community

programs, Jameel also spearheaded his own

annual philanthropic events the “53 Fami-

lies Dinner,” “Jameel McClain Coat Drive,” and

“Kicks for Kids” campaigns. And, even when

working on his platforms, Jameel can always

be found volunteering at the various charity

events of his teammates.

Now in New York, Jameel looks forward

to continuing this tradition of community

service. No matter where his career and life

take him, one thing is certain: Jameel will make

a difference and inspire others to do the same

along the way. N

the salvation armygreater new york youth band & chorus

Brass banding in The Salvation Army is as synonymous with The

Salvation Army as the red kettle at Christmastime. Since The Sal-

vation Army’s inception in the late 19th century, brass bands have

supported The Army’s mission throughout the world, from the smallest of

Salvation Army centers to the largest concert halls.

Founded in 1960, the GreATer NeW YOrK YOuTh BAND has

travelled far and wide, supporting Salvation Army work and spreading the

message of Jesus Christ through music. In addition to tours throughout

the united States, the group has travelled to Canada, Argentina, england,

holland, Italy, Jamaica, Scotland, Spain, and, most recently, Costa rica.

Bandmaster Gordon Ward has conducted the group since 1981,

succeeding famed conductors Terry Camsey and Derek Smith. he is now

joined by Christopher Ward in the leadership of this group.

Famous alumni include Philip Smith, Principal Trumpet of the New

York Philharmonic Orchestra, and Stephen Bulla, recently retired Chief

Arranger of the White house Orchestra and u.S. Marine Band.

From the Plainchants of the early Catholic Church to J.S. Bach’s

Mass in B minor, the human voice has always played an important role

in Christian Ministry. The GreATer NeW YOrK YOuTh ChOruS

was formed in 2005 by Gavin Whitehouse, its present leader. As with the

band, the chorus draws on its membership of young people, ages 13-30,

from throughout the Greater New York area. The group has also travelled

with the Youth Band throughout the u.S., as well as to Canada, Argenti-

na, Spain, and Costa rica. N

special guest performer tony yazbeck

TONY YAZBeCK was born in

riverside, California. As a young

boy, he was captivated by the golden

age of movie musicals, especially the films of

Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. At the age of

four, inspired by these two masters, Tony was

convinced that he could emulate his idols and

started dancing. This training continued, and

after relocating with his family to Pennsylvania,

Tony auditioned for the Tyne Daly revival of

Gypsy and was cast on the spot as a Newsboy

and debuted on Broadway at the age of 11.

Tony spent two years with Gypsy, first at

the St. James Theatre, and then moving with

the show to the Marquis Theatre. This run

provided quite an education, in theater and

life, where Tony learned from the best, soaked

up the feeling of the Broadway community,

and cemented his love for performing. After

Gypsy, Tony expanded his studies to encompass

a broad spectrum of performing disciplines,

attending performing arts high school, and later,

studying at Point Park university and Cincin-

nati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM).

Moving to New York City in 2000, before

he had even finished unpacking or landed an

apartment, he was cast in the national tour of

Annie Get Your Gun, starring Marilu henner,

and turned right around and departed for the

road. Beginning in 2001 when he settled back

in New York City, Tony began to amass an im-

pressive list of credits on Broadway, Off-Broad-

way, with National Tours and regional theaters.

Tony’s Broadway and tour credits in this new

chapter of his career include the Trevor Nunn/

Susan Stroman revival of Oklahoma, Never Gonna Dance, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and

numerous City Center encores! productions.

After laying this groundwork, Tony made

the decision to focus on principal and leading

roles and before long was cast in the role of Al

in the original revival cast of A Chorus Line. As

a result of his involvement with A Chorus Line,

Tony is featured in the documentary film, Ev-ery Little Step, which recounts the story of this

landmark musical interwoven with the casting

of the revival company. Tony had an amazing

year in the show and departed A Chorus Line

to play Tulsa in Gypsy in the critically lauded

production, starring Patti luPone. This move

fulfilled the dream of playing Tulsa that Tony

had held since childhood and his first Broad-

way experience with the show. Tony’s perfor-

mance of Tulsa generated many accolades and

garnered him an Outer Critics Circle Award

nomination. Moving forward, Tony has main-

tained a presence as a leading man in New

York with starring roles on Broadway in Irving

Berlin’s White Christmas (Phil Davis) and

Chicago (Billy Flynn), along with rave reviews

for his portrayal of Gabey in On the Town at

City Center encores!

Whether on Broadway or elsewhere, Tony

continues to seek out new and interesting

opportunities to create with challenging artists.

he joined a gifted ensemble of actors from

Chicago and New York and got to exercise

his comedic chops when he played the dual

roles of Wally Winston and Doucet in Animal Crackers at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre. In his

continuing quest to create with like-minded

artists, Tony collaborated with another dream

ensemble of actors, under the masterful

direction of Tina landau. utilizing landau’s

viewpoints technique, Tony created the role of

Andrew in ricky Ian Gordon’s autobiograph-

ical musical, Sycamore Trees, at the Signature

Theatre, receiving a helen hayes Award. Soon

after, Tony was thrilled to be asked to join

landau again when he appeared in landau’s

Antony and Cleopatra at hartford Stage.

While welcoming new opportunities to

stretch and create, and endeavoring to find new

and challenging work of any sort, Tony is at

heart a song-and-dance man and continually

searches for new vehicles to challenge him in

that vein. recently, he had the opportunity to

create the role of Captain Billy Buck Chandler

in a new revival of My One and Only at Con-

necticut’s Goodspeed Opera house, where,

along with the great personal joy of performing

this tour-de-force role, he was rewarded with

great notices and a Connecticut Critics Circle

private coaching and master classes in acting,

audition technique, and dance. In recognition

of his success with students, Tony is presently

part of the prestigious YoungArts program of

the National Foundation for Advancement in

the Arts, where he has had the opportunity

to teach young artists, as well as to serve as

assistant director to Bill T. Jones on his many

YoungArts concerts.

Tony would like to thank his family and

his friends for their immense support and

belief that the dreams of a child can come

true. he is truly blessed to be part of such a

wonderful art form. N

Award. Immediately following this personal

milestone, Tony moved on to the famed St.

louis Muny Theatre, where, as Don lock-

wood in Singin’ in the Rain, he relished the

opportunity to recreate Gene Kelly’s signature

role and sing and dance in the rain in front of

11,000 theater goers each night.

Tony has had the privilege of performing

at Carnegie hall and many of the fine night-

club and concert venues in New York City. On

television, Tony has been featured on As the World Turns, All My Children, and in the first

season of the NBC hit series, Smash, about the

creation of a Broadway musical.

This past summer, Tony starred in Kiss Me Kate at the royal Albert hall in london,

which was filmed by the BBC and will air at

Christmastime. In August, Tony made his solo

show debut at 54 Below with his song and

dance show, The Floor Above Me.

Tony is currently starring in the critically

acclaimed revival of On the Town as Gabey at

the lyric Theatre on Broadway.

Tony has always believed in perform-

ing with truth, courage, and vulnerability

and having that be the forefront of what is

communicated, either on stage or on film.

Tony has a gift for teaching young artists and

has found great joy sharing what he can with

these students as often as possible through

the salvation army at 150 celebrating the past… and the future

In 2015, The Salvation Army will celebrate

its worldwide SeSQuICeNTeNNIAl

or 150th anniversary!

It was on July 5, 1865, that a former

Methodist minister named William Booth

founded the movement that would evolve into

what we know today as The Salvation Army

changing the world of charitable faith-based

giving forever.

One hundred and fifty years later,

Salvation Army officers, soldiers, and lay staff

serve in 126 countries, speaking 175 languages,

providing basic-needs and other programs

and services to millions of men, women, and

children throughout the globe. Meanwhile,

The Salvation Army red shield, Christmas

red kettle, thrift stores, and emergency-service

canteens have become universal icons of caring

and compassion, while The Army’s work with

the poor, hungry, homeless, veterans, disaster

victims, and so many others has been

lauded, and honored, throughout the

world.

Today, in the u.S., The

Salvation Army operates more than

7,500 centers found in nearly every

community throughout the country,

events are being planned to mark the anniver-

sary. Foremost among these is a Sesquicenten-

nial Weekend, July 3-5, 2015, honoring The

Salvation Army’s founding date ( July 5th).

early plans for the weekend include a concert,

featuring Salvation Army musicians and other

musical guests ( July 3rd); a dinner cruise and

river view of Macy’s fireworks display ( July

4th); and a sunrise service held in lower Man-

hattan’s Battery Park, at the site of the plaque

commemorating the first official landing of

The Salvation Army in America ( July 5th).

There will be numerous opportunities for

individual and corporate donors and volunteers

to support these Sesquicentennial activities,

the Sesquicentennial anniversary campaign,

and the exciting plans we have in store in the

future for our programs and services support-

ing the people and communities of the Greater

New York area. visit our website at www.

a century-and-a-half of service to the world: a salvation army timeline

1879 The Salvation Army’s oldest official em-blem, the crest, is unveiled.

EARLY 1900s The Salvation Army red shield is first introduced, its origins believed to be rooted in Canada. The red shield goes on to become the most recognizable, year-‘round symbol of The Salvation Army.

1829 William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, is born April 10th in Nottingham, England.

1865 Booth founds the move-ment that will become The Salvation Army—known in its earliest days as The Christian Mission—in July. With the spirit of a profes-sional soldier, he battles against overwhelming social ills, biased public policy, and ignorance as he ministers to society’s poor and marginalized.

1880 Salvation Army Commissioner George Scott Railton and seven “Hallelujah Lassies” arrive in Battery Park, New York City, from England on March 10th, marking the first official “landing” of The Salvation Army in America. Railton and his “troops” serve as the foundation for the work of The Sal-vation Army in the Greater New York area and across the nation.

1878 William Booth officially renames

The Christian Mission “The Salvation Army,” and its members become known as “Salvationists.”

Brass instruments, a staple of The Salvation Army’s ministry

in the decades to come, are used for the first time.

1898 The Salvation Army be-gins its relationship with America’s armed forces as Salvation Army officers accompany troops to the Philippine Islands during the Spanish-American War.

1900 The Salvation Army’s first major U.S. disaster response takes place in Galveston, Texas, when Salvation Army officers from all over the country are sent there to serve in the aftermath of a cata-strophic hurricane that destroys the city.

1891 Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee places a kettle at a ferry landing in San Francisco to collect money to buy Christmas dinner for the poor. McFee’s efforts would evolve to become one of The Salvation Army’s most endearing symbols and well-known fundraising campaigns — the red kettle at Christmas.

1917 During World War I, Salvation Army

“Doughnut Lassies” (female Salvation Army volunteers) serve doughnuts on the frontlines to American troops in France. The simple doughnut would be-come a symbol of all The Salvation Army was doing to ease the hardships of fighting soldiers on the frontlines. This effort would serve as the basis for Salvation Army “National Donut Day” 21 years later.

a century-and-a-half of service to the world: a salvation army timeline

1965 The Salvation Army celebrates its centennial anniversary.

2001 “Operation: Compassion Under Fire” — The Salvation Army’s emergency response to the World Trade Center terrorist attacks of September 11th — is unprecedented in the history of Salvation Army disaster services. From September 2001 until May 2002, when recovery operations officially conclude, The Salvation Army serves over 3 million meals, utilizing the efforts of more than 7,000 officers and staff, and more than 32,000 volunteers, representing a total of almost 1 million volunteer hours.

2005 The Salvation Army introduces

its “Doing the Most Good” brand promise to accompany its red

shield logo.

2007 The International Social Justice Commission, brought into being by the General of The Salvation Army, opens in Manhat-tan and serves as The Salvation Army’s strategic voice to advo-cate for human dignity and social justice for the world’s poor and oppressed.

2015 The Salvation Army celebrates

its worldwide 150th anniversary.

1934 Evangeline Booth, fourth daughter of William and Catherine Booth, becomes the first female General (international leader) of The Salvation Army. Previously, she had served as Salvation Army USA National Commander from 1904-1934.

1947Friends and supporters of The Salvation Army in Greater New York gather for the first time to celebrate the holidays and acknowledge the efforts of good people, marking the begin-ning of what would become an authentic New York holiday tradition that continues to this day — The Salvation Army Greater New York Division Annual Gala.

1954President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaims November 28-December 4, 1954, as the first National Salvation Army Week, declaring, “Among Amer-icans, The Salvation Army has long been a symbol of wholehearted dedi-cation to the cause of human brother-hood.” Today, National Salvation Army Week takes place each year in May.

1939 As World War II approaches, The Salvation Army co-founds the

interfaith movement that leads to the formation of the United Service Organization, or USO.

Every neighborhood has a story to tell … and secrets to reveal! Our “Saturdays in the City with The Salvation Army” walking-tour series uncovers these stories,

and more, while exploring some of New York City’s most compelling neighborhoods and landmarks.

Debuting in 2011, the walking tours have grown steadily in popularity, attracting people of all ages

and ethnicities, each united in a common interest in learning more about the historical and cultural

attractions of the communities in which they live and which comprise this great, diverse city.

Previous tours in the series have included Harlem; Brooklyn Heights; the Chelsea Meat Packing

District; the “Three Squares” (Union Square, Gramercy Park, and Madison Square Park); Times

Square and the Theater District; Chinatown, Little Italy, and “Little Ireland”; and the mid- and

south-end areas of Central Park.

Early registration is recommended! For more information, or to reserve your place on the spring tour,

contact Sharon Smith Ibello at (212) 337-7345 or at [email protected].

All proceeds from the tours benefit Salvation Army programs for individuals and families in need in the Greater New York area.

“This is an exciting educational event and a wonderful fundraising opportunity

for The Salvation Army. I look forward to meeting you soon, and enjoying lunch,

your company, and applauding the continuing work of The Salvation Army,

soon to celebrate its 150th anniversary!” CASey TolAr, a MEMBEr OF THE SaLvaTION arMY GrEaTEr NEw YOrk aDvISOrY BOarD aND GUIDING

FIRST OFF, WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY?

Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving supported by a conglom-

eration of nonprofits, corporations, and other community-minded

organizations, designated each year for the Tuesday after Thanksgiv-

ing. Just as retailers come together for “Black Friday” and the online

shopping community for “Cyber Monday,” the giving community joins

forces for “Giving Tuesday” a kind of unofficial “kickoff ” to the

holiday giving season.

Last year, The Salvation Army Greater New York Division, a

founding partner in this special movement, chose Giving Tuesday to

launch its newest holiday initiative, the Red Box Campaign.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE RED BOX CAMPAIGN?

This unique initiative provides multi-item gift boxes a veritable

Christmas-in- a-box! — for individuals and families in need through-

out the Greater New York area. A typical Red Box contains items

such as non-perishable foods, chocolates, tote bags, hats, gloves, socks,

toiletry kits, toys, and more.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT THIS YEAR’S RED BOX CAMPAIGN?

Individuals, groups, and companies have the opportunity to purchase

Red Boxes either online, via mail, or right now tonight with the

assurance that all donated boxes will be distributed in time for Christ-

mas to the families and individuals they’re meant for.

There are several ways to support this exciting campaign, which runs

through Christmas Eve:

: Visit SalvationArmyNY.org and click on the Red Box Campaign

logo

: Fill out the cards at your seat at this evening’s Gala and drop

them into the red kettle at your table

: Mail your donation to “Red Box Campaign,” 120 West 14th

Street, New York, NY, 10011

A donation of $65 will help provide one Red Box for a family in need; $130 will provide two Red Boxes; $325 will provide five; and $650 will provide ten. Ultimately, there is no maximum amount that can be given to those in need.

WHAT IMPACT WILL MY DONATION HAVE?

Considerable! Your Red Box donation(s) will brighten the holiday

season for struggling New Yorkers all across our area. Imagine the joy

these struggling families and individuals will experience when they

realize they have a Red Box, filled with food and gift items, to open

this Christmas?

You can help make this campaign our second annual a rousing

success! In this season of giving, let’s all come together in support of

our neighbors in need!

TOMORROW, DECEMBER 2nd, IS GIVING TUESDAY!

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THOSE IN NEED BY JOINING

THE SALVATION ARMY’S 2014 HOLIDAY RED BOX CAMPAIGN!
