Celebrate International Culture of Peace Month
2nd Annual Department of Peace Walkathon
Join the NATIONAL WALK FOR PEACE in your community!
Last year, over 80 cities signed up to hold walks! Click here for stories.
September is International Culture of Peace Month, with literally thousands of pro-peace activities all around the world. In our campaign, we are encouraging Walk for Peace walkathons on September 15. Districts across the nation are already creating their own walks. It’s a fun, creative, dynamic way to raise money and awareness about the Department of Peace.
WHO: YOU, your friends, and others ready to literally walk the talk of peace.
WHAT: A new twist on the traditional walkathon fundraiser, raising money for The Peace Alliance and moving the campaign forward by raising awareness.
WHERE: A public park, city sidewalk, school or other accessible and visible area you choose—in communities all across the nation!
WHEN: Saturday, September 15, 2007, or another date of your choice between September 11 (Patriot Day/Anniversary of Gandhi’s first nonviolent action) and September 21 (the International Day of Peace).
WHY: To gain visibility in your city and across the country; raise money for the Peace Alliance; be a model of being the change; support International Culture of Peace month; and inspire and enroll others in the Campaign.
HOW: It’s simple! As always, any project is real when one person who can enroll three friends to help says YES!
