WASHINGTON - May 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Beautiful U Yes U (BUYU) and Vegan In The Hood will team up on May 30 to bring youth and families living in the Woodland Terrace community of Southeast, Washington, D.C. relief from violent crime, this through the planting of a symbolic Peace Garden. With plenty of seedlings, soil, and even a moon bounce, organizers hope to inspire a sense of well-being in the young attendees and their families.

Peace Garden participants will have the opportunity to scorch a few calories with a trainer-led physical fitness session, receive free health screenings and be a part of the greatly anticipated Peace Garden ribbon cutting ceremony. Children will be guided through the planting process, during which they will get to plant various items in the Peace Garden, including small trees in memory of lost loved ones.

The groundbreaking is slated to draw out various dignitaries, activists and volunteers along with several guest performers and a live DJ. Activities will take place at 2351 Ainger Pl. SE, Washington, D.C. beginning at 11:30 a.m.
