On Friday, November 3, 2017, The Salvation Army celebrated the start of the holiday giving season with their "2017 Red Kettle Campaign Kickoff" at the Milwaukee Public Market. The event was attended by community leaders, volunteers, and donors, who were treated to a hot pancake breakfast sponsored by the shops of the Public Market. This year's fundraising goal for the Red Kettle Campaign is $3.8-million, an ambitious goal, but one needed to help support more than 80 critical programs and services administered by the Salvation Army to an ever growing clientele. Pictured at the event (from left) are Greater Milwaukee Human Trafficking Task Force Chairperson Dana World Patterson; Marketing Consultant Terrell Morgan; Salvation Army Assistant Divisional Development Director Faithe Colas; Salvation Army of Wisconsin Divisional Commander Major Steven Merritt; WISN 12 News Anchor Melinda Davenport; and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Anthony Smith.
