wE hONOREd MORgAN SPURLOck OUR 2013 PEAcE hERO

While morgan spurlock is best known for his award winning documentaries, he is a man of many gifts.

Our children were absolutely delighted to present the 2013 Peace Hero Award to the man who opened the public’s eyes to healthy, and not so healthy, eating habits. mr. spurlock embodies elements of the Peace Pledge through his thoughtful films about the state of humanity and culture. His passion for supporting locally grown, sustainable agriculture is a testament to ‘caring for our earth.’

Kids for Peace youth honored mr. spurlock in a jovial ceremony by highlighting the many ways he promotes peace through daily living.

mr. spurlock, with his young son by his side, accepted the award with dignity, humility and humor.

He is proud to be a part of the Kids for Peace family!

Kids for Peace was invited to present our Peace Pledge at the United Nations in honor of the UN’s international Day of Peace.

Kids for Peace members joined together from across the country to share our inspiring words at the UN and beyond. We kicked-off the Peace Pledge Tour with an uplifting rally in Central Park with our Celebrity Ambassador Giancarlo Esposito.We also presented our Peace Pledge at UNiCEF’s headquarters, the museum of NYC’s Activists Exhibit, the statue of Liberty, the 9-11 memorial, the Feast of san Genarro in Little italy, st. Patrick’s Cathedral and the pregame show of the Rangers vs. Devils professional hockey game.

Additionally, we launched our “Peace of my Heart Project” by sharing inspirational handwritten love notes throughout the streets of NYC. in true Kids for Peace style, we ended the Peace Pledge Tour by making and delivering Peace Packs and sack lunches to the homeless in Washington square Park. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we were on the TODAY SHOW with Giancarlo Esposito. The LOVE and JOY was abundant in New York City!!
