Christie Brinkley, who holds titles of supermodel, entrepreneur and philanthropist, will add another this fall, when she receives the 2nd Annual HBA "Positively Beautiful" Award from HBA Global Expo for her active support of Smile Train and its mission. Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org) provides free cleft surgery for millions of poor children in developing countries and free cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals.
The Positively Beautiful Award was established by HBA Global to annually recognize a celebrity who uses his or her name and talents to further a cause that champions inner beauty and self-esteem building. The Award Presentation will be part of the event’s keynote and kick-off presentation on Tuesday, September 28th starting at 9am in the Special Events Hall at Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
Brinkley has one of the most recognizable smiles in the world, and she knows the importance a new smile will make for these children who are born with cleft lips and palates. Her awareness building for Smile Train is helping millions of deserving children find their 'inner beauty' and giving them a second chance at life," said Jill Birkett, brand director, Beauty & Wellness, of HBA Global Expo. "We are extremely proud to present Ms. Brinkley with this year's 'Positively Beautiful' award and recognize the beauty of her commitment to the empowerment of disadvantaged children."
