We are excited to announce that PEACE, Inc.’s Champions of Diversity Celebration will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at Rosamond Gifford Zoo (1 Conservation Pl, Syracuse, NY 13204).
Champions of Diversity helps us serve 10,000 Central New Yorkers annually and strengthen our early childhood education, mentoring, crisis intervention, weatherization, tax preparation, nutrition, and senior services. Additionally, the night highlights the agency’s programs, staff members, and clients. It also recognizes residents and entities that -in their own unique ways- practice the agency’s mission, “to help people in the community realize their potential for becoming self-sufficient.”
This year, we are excited to honor:
Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated
Tiffany Rush
Director of Rural Initiatives for On Point for College
