Thank you in advance for your participation!

Join PALS on Sunday, March 22 at Pickledilly Skokie where every serve, dink, and volley goes directly toward funding Teacher Mini-Grants. Help our educators turn their "big ideas" into reality for our students!

All proceeds from this tournament will provide funding for classroom innovation -- last year PALS awarded eight teachers with mini-grants. These grants funded several resources, including an Aeroponic Growing Tower, a Gaga Ball Pit, and classroom materials such as educational math games, art supplies, dramatic play items, flannel boards, and sensory tools.

Anyone can join the fun, regardless of experience level. The registration deadline is Sunday, March 15 so don’t miss out on this FUNdraising event! Be sure to reserve your spot.

Save the date for a PALS Day Out with the Chicago Cubs on Sunday May 3. The Cubbies will compete against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 1:20 p.m. Tickets will be on sale from March 17 until March 31 and seats will be located in a block in the 200’s outfield section.

Support PALS throughout the year on scheduled giveback nights at your favorite local eateries.
