The Beauty Changes Lives Foundation 2018 Legacy Award will posthumously honor Horst Rechelbacher, founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients, on Sunday, April 29, 2018 at The Beauty Changes Lives Experience co-hosted by America’s Beauty Show and Pivot Point International.

 The event at the Art Institute of Chicago will include an intimate Legacy Award dinner followed by a Runway Fashion Show that showcases sponsored NextGen teams and their mentors. Rechelbacher’s partner in life and business, Kiran Stordalen, and his daughter, Nicole Thomas-Rechelbacher, will accept the award honoring his contributions to the industry.

All proceeds benefit The Beauty Changes Lives Foundation, which has raised more than $5M in scholarships for aspiring beauty and wellness professionals.  “Our fund-raising Beauty Changes Lives Experience allows us all to pay forward by supporting the next generations in beauty,” Lynelle Lynch, president of the non-profit Beauty Changes Lives Foundation, says. “Honoring Horst is a privilege for the Foundation and in doing so we also honor the thousands of industry members who were touched by Horst, by his life’s work and his talent for encouraging success in others.”
