Honorary Board Member Hines Ward Needs Your Vote on Dancing With the Stars


Fans of Pearl S. Buck International who also enjoy following ABC's Dancing With The Stars have been in for a double treat as one of our honorary board members, Hines Ward, has made it to the final three on ABC's hit show.

Ward, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is a strong advocate for biracial and multicultural children living in Korea. Since Super Bowl XL, he has sponsored “fatherland” programs through Pearl S. Buck International for these children to visit the United States. Ward also received the 2010 United Nations Positive Peace Award based on Pearl S. Buck International’s nomination.

We have been supporting Ward throughout his ten-week reign of success on Dancing With The Stars, and we encourage everyone to vote for him in the final battle for the mirror ball trophy tonight at 8:00 p.m. on ABC!

Additionally, during the grand finale at 8:00 p.m.Tuesday night, The Black Eyed Peas will perform their new single, ‘Don’t Stop the Party'. This is another special moment for Pearl S. Buck International because of our connection with the Black Eyed Peas' Apl.de.ap. Apl is another honorary board member who was a beneficiary of our Opportunity House Child Sponsorship program as a child in the Philippines.

This is the second time in four months that Hines Ward and Apl.de.ap will share a national stage (the first time was Superbowl XLV, when the Peas played the halftime show for the Steelers and Packers) and we don't think it's a coincidence.

Please tune in and support both of our honorary board members on the final episodes of Dancing With The Stars!
