Our annual fundraiser – Invest In Peace – will take place this week Thursday, October 13th! This annual gathering is a time when we honor those in our community that are going above and beyond in their advocacy and work to educate and bring awareness by word and example of nonviolence, violence reduction, and fostering a community that addresses potentially violent situations with nonviolent solutions. This year we have a handful of incredible honorees: Teny Gross will receive the Sister Ann Keefe Award, the emergency room social worker team at RI Lifespan will receive the Covid-19 Hero Award, and Brown University, Partnership for Rhode Island, and The Rhode Island Foundation will receive a distinguished Community Impact Award.
The Sister Ann Keefe Award is awarded every year to someone who has demonstrated faithful community service and has dedicated his or her life to peace, justice, and human services and embodies the same drive as the Institute's founder Sister Ann Keefe.
