BANNERS OF HOPE
FOR PACIFIC PALISADES
As a local Palisadian organization, we’ve felt the heartbreak of watching our once-vibrant oceanside town grow quiet. The empty sidewalks and shuttered spaces have weighed heavily on all of us who call the Palisades home. But from that silence came a spark—the desire to reconnect, remembering what makes this place extraordinary: its people.
That spark became The Banners of Hope Project.
"The Banners of Hope Project serves as a powerful reminder that hope and creativity can flourish even in the most challenging times.”

With their student body, 11 affected schools have created a piece of artwork.
The inspiration for the piece is “Hope for the Palisades”.
The students have selected three words that reflect what the Palisades community means to their school and the future that they would like to see in our town. These pieces of art and each school’s three words are being printed on over 100 flagpole banners that will be on display throughout Pacific Palisades and parts of Brentwood.
