As primary trustee for the Pi Foundation, she awards new smiles to applicants with dire dental conditions and limited financial resources. She has first hand experience with the euphoria that comes from having a perfect smile after years without one.
She lives with her husband in a historic home in Gwynedd, Pennsylvania amidst antique books and family pictures. Her favorite three smiles belong to Alexandra, Brandon and Benjamin Balshi, her three grandchildren. EMAIL JOANNE BALSHI
