MISS WORLD. The thing that sets Miss World apart, is our special focus on making a difference in the lives of children and the least fortunate around the world.
This is precisely why each year, the Miss World Organisation makes the time to use our global platform to raise awareness, and in so doing raise funds for charity.
This evening we held our annual Charity Dinner and Auction. Hosted by the spectacular, beachfront marvel – the Rosewood Resort in Sanya, China. The elegant setting created the perfect staging for this meaningful Miss World event.
The success of this event is largely dependent on the countries represented…as each year, delegates vying for the most purposeful crown in pageantry; would take with them a special gift from their homeland for Beauty With A Purpose. This unique gift is then auctioned for charity. An interesting fact to note about funds raised under Beauty With A Purpose, is that; 100% of monies raised go to charity.
Chairman and CEO of Miss World, Mrs. Julia Morley, has created this remarkable vehicle of hope, compassion and service. In her welcome presentation, she expressed gratitude to all the local partners who made the evening possible and the 118 Delegates for the wonderful gifts they contributed to the auction.
Tonight’s Charity Dinner raised over RNB 300,000.00 for Beauty With A Purpose, and is therefore, considered a huge success. Children in China will benefit greatly from this noteworthy initiative.
Adding to the splendour of the evening was the heartwarming performance by children from Kids World, which is a Miss World branded training program for children in China. The very talented Kids World performers modelled and danced their way into the hearts of the applauding audience. Following their performance, the children were presented with certificates signed by Mrs. Morley.
To bring the delightful evening to a surprise ending, was the announcement of the 20 finalists who have advanced to the final round of the Head to Head Challenge. Miss World Presenter Frankie Cena took to the stage to make the exciting announcement:
