The Peter Pan Foundation - a 12-year-old Lafayette nonprofit organization that inspires children of all ages to reach their full potential by encouraging confidence, character, and creativity through music and theater, while instilling the value and benefits of community outreach - celebrated its grand opening and ribbon cutting with the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce at its new location, 3355 Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette on Jan. 10. It was a longtime dream come true for founder Leslie Noel.
"Helping young hearts to fly is so much more than just our slogan at the Peter Pan Foundation," explained Noel. "It represents our mission to provide the young - and the young at heart - an enthusiastic environment in which participants are inspired to discover and develop their creative talents, while also teaching them important lessons about their responsibility to take care of themselves and others."
The new location will provide a more nurturing and inspiring environment for the organization to expand their mission to spread love and light to those who need them most.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Peter Pan Foundation to our Lafayette Chamber," said Barbara Gilmore, the Lafayette Chamber member services director. "The ribbon cutting that was held at their new location was filled with excitement and energy beyond belief. What a pleasure to get to know how impactful this foundation is for our community and other communities," she continued. "The kids not only learn to give back but to believe in themselves and to build their confidence. We love Leslie Noel and the kids!"
