What is the Peace Fair? The Peace Fair is dedicated to promoting harmony in the home, the community, the environment, and the world. The Fair provides a comfortable family-friendly atmosphere in which adults and children can learn about how others promote peaceful relations in their organizations and their own lives. The Fair is nonsectarian and nonpartisan, and seeks to attract people of all beliefs from all walks of life.

Proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk for Peace benefit
Buckingham Friends School, an independent Quaker school founded in 1794 and one
of the 12 oldest continuously operating schools in the United States. The school
welcomes students of any race, color, faith, national or ethnic origin and works
to instill values that guide students in caring for the people and resources of
the world. The school is guided by the Quaker values of community, equality,
service, simplicity, integrity, stewardship, and peace.
Buckingham Friends School students express their global commitment by
participating in the school’s international Joint Environmental Mission (JEM)
and a variety of service projects and fund-raising efforts throughout the year.
These projects are conceived of, planned and carried out with the help of the
JEM and Outreach student committees. Through these efforts, the school community
has been able to forge lifelong, collaborative international relationships and
provide much needed goods and services to schools and communities around the
world.
Buckingham Friends School is 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Donations to
the school are tax-deductible as permitted by law. For more information about
Buckingham Friends School and its programs please visit www.bfs.org.
