Look Back, 1980: Because We Care, Part 1

When Operation California was just getting started, actress Julie Andrews and her husband Blake Edwards signed on as founding board members with an enthusiastic commitment to our mission. Late in 1979, the couple sponsored a relief airlift to Cambodia—one of the first allowed into the country after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Furthering their commitment to Cambodian Relief, Julie in 1980 hosted a 2-hour television special on CBS called “Because We Care” alongside a slew of other celebrities including Jane Fonda, Frank Sinatra and more. This major event (the first of several Julie went on to host for Operation USA) raised life-changing funds for Cambodia’s children, and established Operation California’s credibility as a trustworthy and highly efficient relief agency. This year, we had the footage of that television special digitized and find ourselves marveling at the scale of the event given what a young organization we were at the time.
