About the event

The Salvation Army of Cortland 2nd Annual Kettle Kickoff Breakfast
Help Us Ring in the Season of Giving – Give with Joy

Join The Salvation Army of Cortland County for the official launch of our 2025 Red Kettle Campaign. This cherished holiday tradition supports essential services for over 15,000 neighbors in need across our community.

Your joyful giving fuels food assistance, shelter, emergency support, and hope — available to our community 365 days a year.

Featuring Special Musical Guest: Aaron Vanderweele

We are honored to welcome Aaron Vanderweele, world-renowned soloist from The Salvation Army Territorial Headquarters, who will help us usher in the season with a special performance.

Awards & Recognitions

We are proud to celebrate those who make our mission possible with the presentation of the following awards: Countertop Kettle Award, Community Award, Bell Ringer of the Year, and Volunteer of the Year

We’ll also recognize all who generously supported our 2025 Guest Chef Series, including: Gator's Tavern, Community Restaurant, Crisol 607, Brix Pubaria, The Disabled Veterans of Cortland County, and The Salvation Army Advisory Board

Your partnership fuels real change — and we look forward to celebrating your impact.

Why This Event Matters

The Red Kettle Campaign is more than a seasonal tradition — it’s a lifeline to those who are struggling. With every kettle donation, you help bring joy, dignity, and hope to people in need — right here at home.

This year, we invite you to Give With Joy and help us make the season brighter for thousands of local families.

Don’t Miss This Inspiring Morning

Come enjoy a delicious breakfast, uplifting music, and the spirit of community as we kick off the most meaningful season of the year.
