Personalized Gift Bricks for Mattie's Peace Garden
The Peace Garden in the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park, Rockville, Maryland is a living reminder and tribute to this young poet and peace advocate. It represents pathways to peace, and allows visitors to reflect on Mattie’s message, play chess, or simply appreciate life – even with its ups and downs. Throughout the Peace Garden is a ‘mosaic of bricks’ – representing Mattie’s vision of the world and humanity as a mosaic of gifts to be nurtured and offered and accepted. Sponsoring of personalized gift brick is a great way to highlight your organization, celebrate friends and loved ones, represent a cause, offer a message, share a memory, or simply support the work of Mattie’s Foundation. Books and CD's are also available here.
