Pampering for Peace
a wellness fair fundraiser

Where Peace Lives held a successful fundraising* event on September 20th in Red Bank, N.J.. The wellness fair encouraged over a hundred guests to treat themselves to massage therapy, reflexology, or reiki, try raw foods, visit wellness vendors, enjoy great live music, win $$$ raffle prizes, view kids peace murals, all while helping raise money to teach our kids to make the world a better place.

Over a thousand raffle tickets were purchased by guests who had a chance of winning from over 20 beautiful gift baskets that included health and wellness items, theatre and concert tickets, books, dvds, cds, gift certificates to local vendors, and much, much more. The success of the event was so palpable that many asked when the next event would be. The event will be hosted as an annual fundrasing event in the Red Bank area and the group is investigating hosting an event in northern N.J. in the future.

The Where Peace Lives staff would like to personally thank the following people—
Where Peace Lives Board/Advisory Board: Jane, Laura, Pat, Virginia, Jessica

The event committee: Ivone, Colleen, Amy, Susie, Pat, Barbara, Walt, Billy, Roseann, Jessica, and Lisa -
