The goal of the Peace Day Parade and Festival is to draw attention to the existence of Peace Day in Hawaii. (Hawaii is the only state with a permanent Day of Peace, September 21, which coincides with the United Nations International Day of Peace.) In order to do this we try to create events which are television newsworthy, namely a high quality entertaining event with quality performances in the parade and the festival. As a result, the Peace Day Parade is regularly featured on all of the national network television stations in Honolulu. With blanket coverage, the Peace Day Parade has been estimated to be viewed on Sunday and Monday news programs live on approximately 144,000 television sets in the state of Hawaii. Internet replay has provided many thousands more views over the years. *43. 5O1(c)(3) Mission Statement "The Mission of the Peace Committee, a DCCA registered trademark of the Honokaa Hongwanji Mission, is the promotion of peace, compassion, and the awareness of universal interdependence." *44.
