SEE HUNREDS of your NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN PARADE FOR PEACE on Saturday September 6th. We ask you to line the parade route down Bryden Road from the Kwanza Playground to the Hot Times Arts & Music Festival starting at 11:00 a.m. The children are all designing posters that promote peace and living together in harmony. These children will creatively express themselves and share their desire for a better neighborhood, which hopefully will influence others to embrace these beliefs. In light of the recent shootings in the community, there is no better time than now to reaffirm these messages. There is power and energy in a large group of children sharing positive messages with the stakeholders in their environment. This parade encourages youth to have pride in their community, feel safer in their neighborhoods and it also serves to bring neighbors together by engaging not only the children who march but also their family and friends who come out to support them. PFW has provided a grant to our friends at the CENTRAL COMMUNITY HOUSE who has also invited children from a variety of other local youth groups to parade as well. Groups represented are Blackburn Recreation Center, Columbus Collegiate Academy, Millennium Rockets Drill Team & St Vincent’s. Other groups are sure to join in this parade as well.
