Our Story
Inspired by Alex. Driven by Joy.
Our namesake, Alex Peavey, a leading figure in expanding mindfulness in Richmond, Virginia and beyond, was diagnosed not once but twice with stage four cancers. As his health declined, his response was rock solid. “Choose joy” and “fight and smile” became his mantras.
Alex continues to positively influence thousands of people as a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend. We are some of those fortunate people. The Peavey Project seeks to amplify his lessons and legacy and honor him by serving others and sharing the power of mindfulness.
We Couldn’t Do This Without You!
Thank you to every past and future donor to The Peavey Project. Your generosity makes our work possible. We believe that each person we help can positively influence those around them, expanding the reach of your gift exponentially.
