TODAY's Hoda Kotb was honored at last night's DreamBall, a black-tie fundraiser held to support Look Good ... Feel Better, a public service program that aims to help women cope with the appearance-related side effects from cancer treatment. She was named this year's "DreamGirl" at the Waldorf-Astoria event for her courageous and public battle with breast cancer. Congrats, Hoda!

The TODAY co-anchor also introduced the five "Women of Hope is Beautiful," who were honored for their inspiring essays about their personal battles with cancer. Check out Hoda's recap of the event here:

Hoda,
You not only look fabulous you are fabulous. I love your hair! Thank you for helping so many women with their battle against breast cancer, and not being afraid to discuss your battle on your show.

Hoda, You are such an inspiration to Cancer Patients. I wish I had known about the LGFB website when I first lost my hair. It has grown back but I now have a very special friend that just shaved her head on Monday. I am forwarding this information and website. Thank you for sharing your story and staying involved when sometimes we wish we could forget that it ever happened.

Our area breast cancer group held a walk this summer and our tshirts said SAVE SECOND BASE.. We also had a tata trot.
