Peace Day Celebration

Lafayette Federal is proud to participate in this year’s Peace Day Celebration, sponsored by Mattie’s Peace Foundation.

Hosted annually by the Mattie Stepanek Peace Foundation in Rockville, Maryland– Peace Day is a family-friendly “party with a purpose.” Peace Day honors the life and humanitarian legacy of teen poet and activist Mattie J.T. Stepanek. Since his passing in 2004, his birthday has been celebrated with activities promoting his “peace, purpose, play” message. The event brings the people together through entertainment, conversation, and interactive activities, crafts, and games that inspire personal and community peace. Supported by Congressional resolutions and state and local proclamations, Peace Day also serves as outreach and fundraising for the Foundation’s mission to continue cultivating “pathways to peace.”
