## Resource

This Saturday in Rockville, Maryland, celebrate the birthday of Mattie Stepanek — the young poet and peace advocate who died at 13 — with a joyful, rain-or-shine “party with a purpose.” His mom, Mama Peace, keeps his legacy alive through the Mattie Stepanek Peace Foundation, and this annual event features live music, crafts, cornhole, and local vendors donating proceeds to the cause. Inspired by his timeless message: “Remember to play after every storm,” it’s a community gathering that honors his life, spreads his message of peace, and reminds us all to find joy and resilience — no matter what.
