Summary: Salvation Army Record Appeal (Press, 13 March 1986)
On 13 March 1986, it was reported that the Salvation Army's national appeal achieved a record fundraising total of $1,156,392. This figure, as announced by Major Ron Brinsdon, the appeal's director, represented a 29 per cent increase compared to the previous year. Major Rodney Knight, the Salvation Army's public relations secretary, characterised the outcome as phenomenal. While Knight acknowledged that some might believe the Salvation Army's stance on homosexual law reform could have influenced the fundraising results, he indicated that the organisation preferred not to speculate on the matter. He emphasised their gratitude for the overwhelming level of support received during the appeal.
