Best known for her roles in films like Basic Instinct and Casino, Stone also has an impressive track record in raising awareness and support for AIDS research, prevention, and treatment. This work will be recognized by the NAB Education Foundation when she receives their 2016 Service to America Leadership Awards at NABEF’s Celebration of Service to America Awards on June 21. The award recognizes individuals and organizations responsible for improving the lives of others through extraordinary public service.
“Sharon Stone is a gifted actress and humanitarian recognized for her work both on and off the screen,” said NABEF President Marcellus Alexander. “Her tireless advocacy efforts have helped the AIDS research community come closer to finding a cure for one of the world’s most crippling epidemics.”
