Kri Peck Celebrates 30th Birthday With Launch of The Kri Kares Foundation at Atlanta’s KRI DAY

The entertainment executive turns a milestone birthday into a celebration of purpose, philanthropy, fashion and community impact.

Atlanta was filled with celebration, style and purpose as entertainment executive and CR8 Agency Managing Partner Kri Peck marked his 30th birthday with the official launch of The Kri Kares Foundation on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at NDA Lounge.

Known for bringing together some of the entertainment industry’s most influential creatives and professionals, Peck’s signature birthday celebration, KRI DAY, took on a deeper meaning this year. What began as an annual gathering to celebrate life and personal milestones evolved into a powerful moment of giving back and building a lasting legacy.

The evening welcomed family, friends, industry colleagues and supporters for a celebration blending music, fashion and philanthropy. With DJ PJ setting the atmosphere, Peck made a grand entrance in an eye-catching all-white ensemble, setting the tone for a night filled with memorable moments.

A Birthday With a Bigger Purpose

Beyond the festivities, the evening’s defining moment came with the introduction of The Kri Kares Foundation.

Inspired by his journey from Shallotte, North Carolina, to Atlanta and Hollywood, Peck established the foundation to create meaningful opportunities for young people in Brunswick County, North Carolina.

Through scholarships, mentorship, educational workshops and career exposure, the organization aims to empower the next generation of leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs. Its programming will introduce young people to opportunities in entertainment, journalism, media, music and entrepreneurship.

The foundation’s first major initiative will focus on providing scholarships to deserving students throughout Brunswick County.

For Peck, entering his thirties represents more than another chapter of personal success. It marks an opportunity to invest in the communities that helped shape his journey.

Fashion, Music and Unforgettable Moments

KRI DAY delivered an evening of entertainment and standout fashion.

Peck showcased three distinctive looks throughout the celebration, including an all-white corset ensemble, a Marni look and an all-black Amiri ensemble.

R&B singer J. Howell delivered a special birthday serenade before guests joined Peck for a cake presentation and celebratory toast.

The celebration was sponsored by D’USSÉ, with event design by Monday’s Arte, music curated by DJ PJ and event execution led by Tyler Green PR and TimJ & Co.

Building a Legacy Beyond the Celebration

While the evening celebrated three decades of Peck’s life, its greater significance was the commitment to creating opportunities for others.

Proceeds raised through KRI DAY will benefit The Kri Kares Foundation, helping support its mission of providing resources, mentorship and educational opportunities to underserved youth.

As Peck enters a new decade, his celebration serves as a reminder that success is not measured solely by personal achievements, but also by the doors opened for those coming behind us.

At 30, Kri Peck isn’t simply celebrating how far he’s come. He’s creating a pathway for the next generation to go even further.
