First Lady Melania Trump on Feb. 19 accepted a “Women of Distinction” award from Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA), where she spoke about her “Be Best” program and the Trump administration’s battle against the opioid crisis.

The first lady said she was “grateful” to attend the “Women of Distinction” annual awards luncheon, which typically recognizes two women for their “exceptional contributions to the community,” the university website states. Proceeds from the event go toward a scholarship fund for female students.
