She has used her platform to increase awareness, promote patient advocacy, and let millions of women facing these challenging life crises that they are not alone. Giuliana recently created "Fab-U-Wish," a program to grant fashion, beauty, and celebrity-themed wishes to women battling breast cancer.

This years recipient of the Caring Is Sexy Award truly exemplifies the Caring Is Sexy spirit. She is not only grateful for all she has achieved, but she also has a tremendous compassion for others and uses her talents and abilities to make this world a better place...now that is sexy.
