Liz McCartney, co-founder of the St. Bernard Project, was honored as CNN's
"Hero of the Year" at a ceremony Nov. 22 in Hollywood. The show is set to
air on CNN Thanksgiving at 8 p.m. before an international audience. 

McCartney, one of 10 finalists for the award, received $100,000 to continue
the project's recovery work in Hurricane Katrina devastated St. Bernard
Parish. McCartney had already received $25,000 for being a finalist. 

"To the country and the world, I ask you to please join us," said McCartney
in her acceptance remarks. "Together we can continue to rebuild families'
homes and lives. If you join us, we'll be unstoppable."
