PASS - PALS Adult Services Society

Every monthly gift creates opportunities for neurodivergent adults to thrive. ✨

We're welcoming more members into PASS Daily than ever before, and we need your steady, sustaining support to keep our high-quality, individualized programming going and growing.

What your monthly gift can make possible:

🧂 $5/month helps replenish program supplies.
Ingredients for a cooking class, paint for an art project, or bus fare for a community outing - there are so many small but important items required to run our program each month.

💼 $30/month purchases one Vocational Box.
This is a task box that helps members develop job-readiness skills. As members master a task, they’re ready for a new challenge, so we regularly add new boxes that allow them to build on their skills.

🎨 $100/month provides one hour of Art Therapy.
Led by a registered art therapist, this program gives members a safe, creative outlet to communicate, process emotions, and build confidence.

🦋 Set up your monthly gift today, and we’ll send you a special keepsake designed by a PASS member: https://www.passadultservices.ca/monthly-giving

Community Quest Club is all about empowering members to actively and safely engage in their communities. 🧭🗺️

Members explore local parks, cafes, landmarks, museums, and more. It’s a great chance to practice using Google Maps to navigate through their community and find new locations.

Earlier this summer, everyone made their own mini passports. At the end of each outing, they receive a ticket to collect in their booklet!

This is Thomas, one of the most hard-working, curious, and friendly men you’ll ever meet. There aren’t enough days in the week to accommodate all the jobs Thomas wants to do (even chopping onions!!!), and we just love his go-getter attitude and positive personality!

You can be the dream employer he has been waiting for. Learn more about how to partner with PASS to provide inclusive employment opportunities: https://www.passadultservices.ca/blog/employment-program

Monthly donors provide the steady, reliable support that makes everything we do at PASS possible. 💜

As demand for our programs continues to grow, monthly giving helps us welcome more neurodivergent adults while preserving everything that makes PASS so special.

🦋 To celebrate our monthly donors, PASS member and digital artist Casey designed a beautiful butterfly-themed magnet as our thank-you gift. We'd love to send you one!

Casey has flourished through our individualized, inclusive programs. Your monthly gift will help more people like her discover their passions, develop their talents, and find meaningful opportunities to thrive.

Setting up your monthly donation is simple - choose an amount that’s right for you, and your gift will automatically make a difference every month. It’s the easiest, most effective way to support PASS.

Your monthly gift creates meaningful opportunities for neurodivergent adults and peace of mind for their families.

A big thank you to the wonderful team at the Old Spaghetti Factory in New Westminster for the warm hospitality! ❤️🍝

It was a lovely way to kick off our well-deserved summer break. Good food, great company and plenty of laughs—just the way we like it. Wherever we go, good times are guaranteed. See you in a few weeks!

Thank you to Music Heals Canada for their continuous support of our Music Therapy program. 🎶 Music Therapy at PASS creates opportunities for neurodivergent adults to build confidence, express themselves creatively, and grow at their own pace.

Our Music Therapist recently shared Dada's story, which illustrates this impact:

Dada often begins Music Therapy sessions by observing, taking time to settle before engaging. With consistent support from Music Heals, he is able to participate at his own pace, building trust, routine, and a sense of safety over time.

It’s been two weeks since the Imagine… Gala, and we’re still not over it! From bidding on fabulous auction prizes to dancing the night away with ABRA Cadabra, it’s an evening we’ll never forget. 

And for the students at PALS and members at PASS, the impact of that night will continue long after the last song played, with funds raised supporting life-changing programs and opportunities.

📅 Save the date for the 20th Annual Imagine… Gala for Autism which will be held Saturday, May 1st, 2027 at the Westin Bayshore.

Theme TBA ✨

We’re so grateful to the businesses and organizations who made the 19th Annual Imagine… Gala for Autism possible! ❤️✨

Thanks to our generous sponsors, all Gala expenses were covered before guests even walked through the doors. That means 100% of every dollar spent that evening goes directly towards funding our programs.

For more than 12 years, Angela Bi of Visas Consulting Group and Arte House has been a passionate and generous supporter of PALS and PASS. Through extraordinary live auction packages, enthusiastic bidding, and ongoing support of community fundraisers, Angela has helped create meaningful opportunities for autistic individuals and their families. 

This year alone, Angela donated three of her signature New York packages to the Imagine… Gala, helping raise an incredible $60,000!

We were proud to recognize Visas Consulting Group and Arte House as this year’s Imagine… Gala Honouree in celebration of Angela’s unwavering generosity, vision, and commitment to our community.

The Gala Honouree artwork was created by talented PASS member and artist Casey Maltman as a digital illustration drawn freehand on her iPad. The piece reflects Angela’s years of support through meaningful symbols, including the Plaza Hotel in New York, Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower, Amsterdam’s canals, Vancouver’s North Shore mountains, and the iconic Imagine… Gala balloons. Angela is depicted standing alongside PASS members Casey and Douglas - a beautiful tribute to the connection and community she has helped foster over the years.
