Miss America 2008 Kirsten Haglund, DL-Couture Fashion Designer Danell Lynn, and I took part in the first annual Airline Ambassadors Global Compassion Ball at the United Nations Headquarters’ Delegates Dining Room in New York City. Airline Ambassadors is a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian aid to children and families in need as well as relief and development to under-privileged communities worldwide. The organization escorts children in need, hand-delivers humanitarian aid to orphanages, clinics, and remote communities, raises public awareness and involves youth in humanitarian efforts around the world. Monies raised at The Global Compassion Ball will support the organization’s humanitarian projects on five continents and thousands of children and families in need around the world. It was an honor to meet Ann Curry, Hoda Kotb, Dr. Patch Adams, Talent Agent Gregg Willinger, and Miss America’s Traveling Companion Julie Hoffman. Thank you to the lovely Nancy Rivard for making this event a huge success.
It was a pleasure visiting my beautiful family Grandma, Uncle John, Uncle Ian, Jennifer, Diana, Richie, Aunt Ruthie, Uncle Joe, Melissa, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Eddie, and little Ava.
Love,
Diane
