It was created by NBC affiliate WCSH 6 and the United Way of Greater Portland to recognize outstanding community volunteers.

“Although it is a tremendous honor to receive this award, I humbly accept it on behalf of the children of military familes and the countless volunteers and donors who help make this program a reality.  As Operation Tribute continues to be recognized for its impact on the lives of the children of military families, I am hopeful that it will become a national program in the near future to ensure that the children of all military families throughout the country are recognized for their daily sacrifices and courage.” said Badeau.

With only 2 weeks left before Christmas, the Ruby Tuesday restaurants in Maine offered their patrons a holiday ornament with their name on it for a donation of $1.00. The restaurants raised $1,000 to support Operation Holiday Cheer. “This is a tremendous program, supporting the children that sacrifice so much and ask so little in return. Ruby Tuesday will offer this program again in 2009 to its patrons with a goal of raising $5,000 for these children ” says Bard. The photo below shows the Westbrook, Maine Ruby Tuesday bar area with the ornaments proudly displayed.
