MPHI’s Advance Peace Initiative recently received a donation from the Tri-Star Charitable Foundation. The Tri-Star Charitable Foundation seeks to support community education, arts and culture, social welfare, and community beautification. The organization donated $5,000 to support Advance Peace’s efforts through their Peacemaker Fellowship® program.

Advance Peace will be officially awarded the donation at the Tri-Star Charitable Foundation’s annual Be a Light Celebration on September 12, 2024. This event highlights organizations serving in the Great Lakes Bay and Greater Lansing Area communities. Advance Peace was invited to be one of seven speakers allotted time to share their impactful stories.

Advance Peace has been working to transform the Greater Lansing community since 2022. The initiative has already made an impact with their Peacemaker Fellowship® program, which engages members of the Lansing community most likely to be involved in gun violence by providing mentorship aimed at preventing gun violence before it happens. Data shows a decrease in fatal and non-fatal shootings in areas where the program has been focused.

MPHI and Advance Peace are honored to be recognized by the Foundation and will use the donation to continue investing in their work preventing gun violence.
