The staff, board of directors, and volunteers of Seeding Change and the Great Lakes PeaceJam program want to extend our gratitude to you, our donors and supporters. To date, we have raised $4,725 towards our goal of $8,000 for our "Ending Hate and Intolerance" campaign.
We believe that the best way to end hatred on our planet is to start with our young people, and Great Lakes PeaceJam has given thousands of youth in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio the tools to make our world a better place through the PeaceJam curriculum and face-to-face interactions with Nobel Peace Prize Laureates.
Thanks to you, we have:

We are still seeking to raise $3,275 funds to achieve our $8,000 goal and would love to surpass it.
In addition to thanking our donors and supporters, we would like to invite you to attend a private reception and public address with our visiting Nobel Peace Laureate, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, and a . Both events are on Friday, April 1st, in the South Ballroom of the Bernhard Center of Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, MI). The private reception is $50 per ticket* and begins at 5:30 PM.
