We want all of our donors who have the opportunity to have their gifts to Play for Peace doubled (or even tripled in some cases) to be aware of their employee matching gift program if one exists. If you have a matching gift program at your workplace and want support in obtaining that match, let us know, and we will be happy to help. If you don't know if you have a matching gift program at your workplace, we are happy to help you find out.

Compassion is not just a word; it is a feeling of deep sympathy for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.

Life has many ups and downs. You could think you've got it all figured out one day. Then, all of a sudden, you're hit with a curve ball. You are not alone in experiencing these emotions. Everyone must confront their own set of difficulties. Knowing how to overcome obstacles can help you stay focused and calm under pressure.
