OUR 2025

Events

Inaugural Kringles and Kayaks

The Salvation Army in Manatee is hosting the FIRST EVER KRINGLES and KAYAKS event. This unique event takes place at Robinson Preserve and promises to be the liveliest event of the year! Bring your jolly attitude and join us for a fun filled morning of kayaking and Christmas spirit. We will have a DJ, games, prizes, snacks and beverages and an appearance by the big man himself! Funds raised will support our shelter for families with children.

Date: November, 8, 2025

The Salvation Army hosted its first-ever Deep Dive Kettle Kick-Off event in 2023 in an effort to draw attention to the holiday season and the beginning of the annual Red Kettle season. Divers go underwater to ring their bells and remind our community that the red kettles help enable us to continue our year-round efforts of helping those who would otherwise be forgotten.

DATE: NOVEMBER 2025

Experience the thrill of a lifetime while making a meaningful impact. This exhilarating urban adventure fundraiser challenges you to elevate your support for families and children in need.

Backed by Over the Edge Global, which has successfully hosted signature events around the world, we are thrilled to bring this extraordinary opportunity to Bradenton. The Salvation Army in Manatee is dedicated to using this event to empower families and uplift those we serve.

Help us reach our ambitious goal of raising $100,000 so we can provide hope and fulfill our mission to do the most good for families seeking a fresh start and for children striving to thrive.

This is your chance to take part in a truly unique experience! Individuals or teams can raise funds and earn the exhilarating opportunity to rappel from the top of a building TBD in Downtown Bradenton.
