Over 1,000 attend sold out Peace Market

NEW YORK | Over 1,000 people helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Seeds of Peace’s work at the annual event.

This year featured live performances by John Forté and Salman Ahmad, as well as speeches by three Seeds, a live auction that raised $25K, and a hummus taste off between four New York restaurants.

Many in attendance wrote and hung wishes on the Wishing Tree by artist Chrysanne Stathacos. These included “I wish we can send more kids to Camp” and “I wish that everyone could experience the dialogue sessions … that changed my life.”

Thanks to the hard work of the Peace Market Host Committee, these wishes are now much closer to being fulfilled.
