For their numerous activities to support of worthy causes, Tim and Faith were honored with the award. The couple started the non-profit organization Neighbor’s Keeper as well as helping victims of hurricane Katrina and the Nashville floods.
“Being honored for our humanitarian work, while incredibly humbling, is also bittersweet for us because it comes at the expense of others who are suffering through hard times,” Hill said in accepting the award. “People just like us — with families, brothers, sisters, children and friends — need our help. People with or without homes, with or without jobs, with or without families, the fact is that uncontrollable and unforeseen disasters are not discriminating.”
“It sounds like a clichĂ© at the end of the day … but we do think that we are better people for it,” McGraw said of the personal fulfillment from the charity work. “We know we are better people for it. We’ve been inspired and enlightened. … The courage, the grit, the determination of those in need and those who are helping each other are always awe-inspiring to us. And that’s what we dedicate this award to — people who help each other.”
