A PALS Success Story 💙 Last summer, Chris and Elizabeth were paired together at PALS Boston—and from the start, their connection grew into a meaningful, lasting friendship. Hear more about their week at camp: "What a summer, what a friend. My favorite memory with Elizabeth Bolton is when I was nervous, walking up the stairs of the aquarium and she said we will take it one step at a time. After that moment, I knew that I was safe and loved and cared. She was a perfect partner." - Chris, Partner "One of my favorite things about getting to spend the week with Chris was his constant energy and compassion. He was the first to check up on everyone and always brought so much fun to our entire group. We had so much fun singing karaoke and making TikToks in our free time. Chris was the best PAL I could've asked for😊" - Elizabeth, Peer (fb)
