2009 Peace Hero Tony Hawk






Kids for Peace was thrilled to present our 2009 Peace Hero Award to Tony Hawk. Hundreds of people gathered at the beautiful Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas to celebrate this joyous honor. The Kids for Peace children delighted Tony and the audience with a presentation which included our theme song, Peace Pledge and reasons why they chose Tony as their Peace Hero. Tony was acknowledged for being a great role model, for always getting back up whenever he takes a fall, for donating millions of dollars to charity, for building over 400 skateparks through his foundation, for making a career from his fun, for being a great dad, and for inspiring children to follow their dreams. After the ceremony, Tony tirelessly and generously gave autographs and photos. The children were overjoyed!! Tony Hawk is a first class Peace Hero!!!

Servapalooza 2009






Kids for Peace was thrilled to cohost our 1st annual Servapalooza: Service Festival and Parade of Wishes. Two thousand people came out to celebrate Global Youth Service Day with a parade featuring banners with Wishes for Our World. Following the parade, our youth engaged in meaningful hands-on service projects such as creating seed balls to be planted in fire-effected areas, made heart pins to be delivered in our Peace Packs to children around the world, decorated placemats for seniors' mealtime and so much more. During the service festival, we were dazzled with incredible youth entertainment including a juniour circus, Jr. Crew drummers, CHS Lancer Dancers and More. It was truly a dreamy day for all.
