The idea of Geeks for Peace was conceived by Morgan Spurlock after being presented the Peace Hero Award by the youth of Kids for Peace in 2013. Kids for Peace children from all over the world selected Spurlock as their 2013 Peace Hero for his commitment to kids, peace, healthy living and using his voice for good. During the heart-warming Peace Hero ceremony, Spurlock was so touched by the mission, vision and impact of Kids for Peace that he said, “I want to support these kids and their determination to create a peaceful world.” With Kids for Peace headquarted in San Diego County, Spurlock went on to say, “We should throw a party with all my geeky friends during San Diego’s Comic-Con.” From that, Geeks for Peace was born.

Funds raised during Geeks for Peace will help Kids for Peace support and expand their programs to underserved youth in the U.S., Pakistan, Iraq, Liberia and Kenya.
