Strength, Courage and Confidence; What Facial Difference Teaches Us
P.A.L.S. Foundation's most recent success has been the
publication of an autobiographical account of one of its Board
Members, Jennifer Wallace, about growing up with a
hemangioma tumor. Jennifer had a large facial hemangioma
that grew to the size of one-half of a grapefruit by the time she
was 4 months old. Jennifer's book, "Strength, Courage and
Confidence; What Facial Difference Teaches Us" reveals her
and her family's struggles and successes with dealing with
facial difference, hemangioma tumors and the social stigma
of looking different. Learn More >>
Disaster Preparedness
Working with principals, school leaders and teachers, the Foundation develops disaster plans for the school and individual classrooms. Activities include having each child work with parents to fill a backpack with an extra change of clothes, identification and non-perishable food. All back packs are stored in a bin in each classroom for easy access and distribution in a crisis.
Safer Futures- Firearm Awareness Program for Children
Safer Futures is a 20-minute program created for Kindergarten through fourth grade students, teaching them how to leave a situation where they find a fire arm. This program is designed to be presented by parents or volunteers, and does not advocate any political position regarding fire arm ownership or regulation.
