September 2025 e-Peace Update: For Our World

Preparing for the 25th anniversary of 9/11 next year, Mattie’s Foundation has relaunched the For Our World Campaign as a Pathway2Peace.

Mattie’s #PeaceRocks Bring Hope & Joy to “New Neighbors”

Children, teens, and adults enjoyed painting rocks – with colors and images that serve as reminders of hope, resilience, and kindness – during the 2nd Annual Set Them Up for Success Volleyball Tournament Fundraiser to support the New Neighbor Interfaith Alliance.

For Our World Campaign

Many people, many places, one purpose – peace… The “For Our World Campaign” is a global endeavor to fulfill Mattie’s hope that this poem – penned on September 11, 2001 – would be translated into at least 101 language so that it might serve as an “international passage for peace.”

#Meghan Rocks & #PeaceDragonRocks Placed in Mattie’s Peace Garden

Members of UpCounty Community Resources (UCR) and Main Street Connect join Mama Peace for an afternoon of placing #Meghan Rocks & #PeaceDragonRocks in Mattie’s Peace Garden.

A Global Celebration – Huzzah!

Imagine – if we choose to live every day as Peace Day…

Local & Global Neighbors Toast2Peace on Peace Day!

Hundreds “raise a glass or grateful hands” and connect with purpose – for peace – in honor of the late teen poet and activist Mattie Stepanek to commemorate his 35th birthday and peace legacy.
