An Evening With Peace: In Full Bloom was the apt title for the second annual fundraiser for the Peace Preparatory Academy, an independent elementary school in Atlanta’s Bankhead neighborhood.
More than 180 supporters gathered at the Curate Event Space in West Midtown for a night of dinner and dancing, and raised $130,000 to educate children from the English Avenue community. The event was hosted by Christian hip hop artist Tedashii and chaired by the academy’s executive director, Leah Skinner. Four-time Grammy award winner Lecrae, an academy founding board member, spoke about the neighborhood’s restoration and inspired attendees to continue the work of extending educational opportunities to children.
