A PALS pairing success story 💙 After being paired together at PALS San Francisco, Ellie and Logan built a connection that quickly grew into a meaningful, lasting friendship—and the two still talk every single day! Hear more about their time together:

"Logan is funny and makes me laugh. She laughs at my jokes too. I liked dancing in our room together. I think she thinks I am awesome. We are now very good friends." - Ellie, Partner

"This is the one place where my child is safe, accepted, and appreciated for all their unique qualities. She is free to be her joyful self and share that joy with everyone at the camp."

At PALS our goal is that all families can find a community where their child is seen, valued, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
