Committee Announces 10 Additional Vehicle Recipients
Latest winners bring 2006 total to 42; one more round to follow later this fall
On September 28, USSTC's Operation Ranger Committee completed its second round of 2006 Polaris Ranger award notifications. USSTC has selected 10 additional organizations to receive 6x6 utility vehicles, bringing this year's total award recipients to 42. The company expects to award an additional 18 Rangers before the end of the year.
3,508 Operation Ranger Applications Reviewed
In selecting this year's recipients, the Committee reviewed a total of 3,508 Operation Ranger applications submitted by the Jan. 6, 2006 deadline. This year's applicant pool was larger than the program's previous three years combined, and the outstanding quality of the applications made the task of selecting only 60 award winners extremely difficult.
Operation Ranger continues the unfortunate task of notifying those organizations not selected this year. We encourage these organizations to submit a 2007 Operation Ranger application, now available on this web page (see below).
Please continue to check the Operation Ranger website for program updates and a list of this year's Ranger recipients. We thank all those who applied for your interest in the program and salute the valuable work you do each and every day.
USSTC Commitment
The U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company Operation Ranger Program awards rugged, off-road utility vehicles to our nation's emergency responders. To date, 242 vehicles have been awarded across all 50 states. Continued program funding is subject to the approval of our Corporate Contributions Committee and it can be expanded, reduced or eliminated at any time.
The Operation Ranger program exists both to recognize the service of our nation's emergency responders and to provide a versatile, practical vehicle that will enhance emergency response capability at the community level. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Polaris Industries, the National Volunteer Fire Council and the many vehicle recipient agencies that have helped us shape this signature program since its inception as a pilot program in late 2002.
