Phoenix,
AZ (March 15, 2013) - The Professional Beauty Association
(PBA), producer of the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA), is proud to
announce renowned actor, author, entertainment journalist, producer and
father Mario Lopez as the host of the 2013 NAHA Awards Ceremony.
In
addition, Lopez will receive the 2013 PBA Beautiful Humanitarian Award during
the Ceremony for his work with a variety of charitable initiatives. Lopez
works to raise awareness and funds for many causes that support the positive
and healthy development of children and young adults. A champion of many
causes, Lopez's work as an Alumni Ambassador of Fitness with the Boys &
Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), and as part of the organization's BE GREAT
campaign, has continually helped bring to light the major issues affecting
today's young people, including the importance of graduating from high school
and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In addition to his work with BGCA, Lopez
is a passionate supporter of other organizations, including Children's
Hospital Los Angeles, Community Youth Athletic Center of Chula Vista,
Jameson's Army, and Padres Contra el Cancer.
"It
is my honor to be able to host the 2013 North American Hairstyling Awards,
and I am very humbled to receive the Professional Beauty Association's
Beautiful Humanitarian Award. Beauty professionals help others to look and
feel their best, and I applaud their work and talents," states
Lopez.
A man
of many trades, Lopez is passionate about staying active and engaged with his
fans and followers. He is the host of the nationally syndicated daily show EXTRA. Concurrently,
Lopez continues his hosting duties on Fox's hit music series The X Factor. He is also
the host of the soon to be nationwide Clear Channel radio show "On with
Mario Lopez." Not only does Lopez have a proclivity for the
entertainment industry, he is also an avid sports fan. He has taken his love
for sports, specifically boxing, to the next level as a recurring commentator
on HBO Boxing,
and recently produced a documentary based on the sport.
Lopez
is a New York Times bestselling author for his healthy eating guide Extra Lean. In May 2011,
he released the follow up to Extra
Lean entitled Extra
Lean Family. This new book features recipes and tips that are
beneficial to the entire family. Additionally, Lopez penned Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness,
a bestselling fitness book that offers readers a look into his impressive
workout regime, and Mud
Tacos, a vibrant children's book he co-authored with his sister
Marissa. As a follow up to Mud
Tacos, Lopez released Mario
& Baby Gia, a children's book he wrote for his daughter, Gia.
As the
professional beauty industry's top honor, a NAHA is the pinnacle award to
win, and the NAHA Awards Ceremony is the event of the year. Lopez, who is a
part of most every red carpet, mega-event in the entertainment industry and
has co-hosted such events as the Miss America pageant, will no doubt lend his
experience, charm and wit to this year's event.
