Welcome to Peace Rocks!

Our mission is to further peace, unity, and cultural diversity through the support of activities, programs and events in music, arts, and education.

I have loved peace signs since I was a little girl. To me, they have always represented hope, unity, and the belief that small symbols can carry powerful meaning. Over the years, that simple love grew into a deeper commitment to creating spaces where kindness, creativity, and connection can thrive. I started Peace Rocks Foundation as a way to turn that lifelong belief into action—bringing people together through art, music, and shared experiences that inspire empathy and understanding. I have worked for peace in both quiet and visible ways throughout my life, and I remain committed to continuing that work, knowing that peace is built one conversation, one act, and one community at a time.

Hearts On Fire! Our Biggest Program

“In 2013, I started a community choir called Hearts on Fire—a non-auditioned group where anyone who loves to sing is welcome. What began as a small gathering has grown into a vibrant family of over 70 voices, united by a shared belief that music IS a powerful force for good. We sing not for fame or competition, but to create unity and harmony in the world—both in sound and in spirit. Over the years, I have envisioned taking that mission beyond music, creating projects in our community that inspire peace, unity, tolerance, and understanding. From that vision, the Peace Rocks Foundation was born, giving us a way to transform our songs of hope into tangible acts that help build a kinder, more connected world. ”
