Amazing news—musician, actor, and APJ supporter Kevin Jonas will be competing on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” today to help our schools in Haiti!

This famous Jonas brother is all about doing good and having fun. Kevin Jonas has supported Artists for Peace and Justice by launching a Crowdrise campaign sending lucky fans to meet him at our Oscar event, to playing a heated game of dominoes against Jon Hamm and Vanessa Hudgens to raise money for our cause!

Peter Tunney, aka “PT”, has been supporting our work in Haiti from the beginning. A ubiquitous character at nearly every major APJ event, Peter Tunney is sure to make a splash bringing fun, laughter, and creativity wherever he goes.

This week, we were thrilled to have Peter Tunney share his message at the Academy for Peace and Justice. Visiting with the students in the classroom that bears his name, PT and the students spoke for an hour about determination, finding your passion, and the true meaning of life: doing what comes from your heart. Peter’s message to the Academy for Peace and Justice students: Impossible IS possible. For students like ours who are fulfilling their dreams through education, that message is sure to resonate.

Stay tuned for the announcement of an exciting project PT will be bringing to Haiti very soon! Thanks to Peter for sharing his journey and inspiring all of us at APJ.
