The Salvation Army is hoping to raise over $100,000 with its 'An Evening With Henry Winkler' event.
“This is our second biggest fundraiser of the year. The Red Kettle campaign is The Salvation Army’s biggest fundraiser,” Brad Mayhar, the public relations manager with The Salvation Army, said.
The Salvation Army’s benefit dinner at the Hilton San Antonio Hill Country Hotel has big expectations after last year’s Red Kettle campaign. “Well, we had a pretty big shortfall actually. We had during the red kettle season, we had a shortfall of over $100,000,” Mayhar said.“Another ripple effect of COVID is you know, people were maybe, you know, hurting financially. People were struggling, so it could be a number of factors,” Mayhar said.“Who better to help us make up, you know, some of the shortfalls we had during the Christmas season than the man himself,” Mayhar said.Winkler was the night’s keynote speaker.
“Here we are in this moment when the world seems to be going kablooey. Traditions are breaking down, respect is breaking down. It’s scary. It is becoming very scary. Then you have The Salvation Army that lifts you up in no matter what area you’re having a problem in. There seems to be a mission,” Winkler said.
All of the money raised at the “An Evening With Henry Winkler” fundraiser will stay here in San Antonio and help local families.
