Juanes Honored For Humanitarian Efforts At Star Gala

By Sugey Palomares

Juanes is always working on making the world a better place. The "Me Enamora" singer was recently honored with the 2010 "Al-Rashid Hope Award" for his humanitarian efforts at the 8th annual FedEx/St. Jude Angels & Stars Gala in Miami, Florida.

Over 550 guests attended the star-studded event that included performances by Luis Enrique, and the former member of Sin Bandera, Noel Schajris. Besides helping victims of cancer, the Latin Grammy winner pioneered the successful Mi Sangre Foundation, which helps victims of mines.

Here is what Juanes had to say about his award:

"As a father, I can't help but be profoundly touched by the children who are currently being treated at St. Jude. At this great hospital our children have hope, and that is why I joined this cause, and with sincere gratitude accept this award."

Congrats Juanes! We admire your revolutionary spirit!
