Here is a local example of a business...making Peace Happen: 



Coordinating with our friends at Paloosh Salon, we will be able to use the glamor of hair to highlight peace awareness.  During Breast Awareness Month, Paloosh Salon created a fundraiser around the idea of pink hair extentions.  For Peace Week, Paloosh will offer "Peace....Extend It," white hair extenstions to recognize world peace.  They will also have a "Dove Love...Rub a dub dub," pedicure/manicure with partial proceeds going to fund Charleston Peace One Day.  Placards wil be available to share the broader message of the International Day of Peace.  If you drive by, you may just see the Salon decorated in Peace themes.   Thanks...for being a part of PEACE HAPPENS, and for creatively sharing peace in your own unique way.

Here is a Global  example of Corporations...making Peace Happen:

Last year, news of the historic handshake between Adidas and PUMA made it round the world. To celebrate Peace Day, the global day of cease fire and non-violence, a special One Day One Goal tournament was held in Herzogenaurach, Germany, the home town of the two companies.
