Anderson introduced an approach to fund-raising on the world-wide stage by focusing a national television audience on Cowboys Stadium and the unique opportunity to kick off the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.

In addition to her role with the Salvation Army, Anderson also manages the Cowboys year-round efforts in community service, philanthropic involvement and the annual development and distribution of foundation funds produced by The Gene and Jerry Jones Family Charities and the Gene and Jerry Jones Arlington Youth Foundation.

Most recently, Anderson was named Chairman of the NFL Foundation and is responsible for spearheading philanthropic efforts in player care, youth football, and medical research.
