            <title>&quot;America&apos;s Favorite Mom&quot; Plays Santa for the Troops</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Well done, Patti! 
Patti Patton-Bader, founder of Soldiers' Angels, has given her prizes from the America's Favorite Mom contest to service members and their families.

New York, NY (December 16, 2008) -- America's Favorite Mom played Santa for a Day in New York, using the prizes she won to bring an early Christmas to military personnel and their families. Patti Patton-Bader, named America's Favorite Mom last Mother's Day, received the remainder of her prizes in New York last week, which she immediately donated in support of her heroes.

Such generosity is typical of Ms. Bader, who is president of Soldiers' Angels, a military support nonprofit she founded soon after her soldier son was deployed to Iraq in 2003. Five years later, it is now a volunteer-based organization operating over 30 different teams and projects in support of America's military, veterans, and military families around the world. &quot;Soldiers' Angels is proud to acknowledge the continued generosity of its founder, Patti Patton-Bader, through her donation of the proceeds and prizes she received from the America's Favorite Mom contest,&quot; said Soldiers' Angels Treasurer Mark Concialdi.]]></description>

I am still not a fan of promoting a person over the organization, but I am impressed and glad to see that Patti passed her winnings on to the Soldiers.&nbsp;]]>
