Shout out to Oyster Bay High School!
A special thanks to the students in Mr. Scott Boris's Advertising and Graphic Design 1 class for participating in a design challenge for PeerPals.org. The students learned about our mission and viewed our web site. They were then asked to design a logo, business cards, letterhead, a flyer, and a trifold brochure. The submissions were amazing! The ultimate design was a result of the collaborative work of the three winners: Tricia Genova, Ashley Bagan, and Megan Cifuni. The new logo is featured in the brochure, flyers and soon to be seen on our web site. The new flyers and brochure will be available to be downloaded from the site soon. Thanks, too, to Mr. Boris for all the time and attention he gave to this project! -

Happy New Year!
Last year was an incredible beginning for Peer Pals. In 2009, over 40 children registered as pals and we made our very first matches. We also held our first group play date supervised by an amazing group of professionals that donated their time. Our website launched and Peer Pals became a 501(c)(3) public charity. As we enter the new year, it's time to look ahead to what we hope to accomplish. It is our goal to bring our mission to as many communities as possible. We are also committed to finding a match for every child that registers. To meet these goals, we need your help. Creating communities of inclusion for children with disabilities as they enter kindergarten starts one friendship at a time. Please help us by taking a moment to tell a friend, or two, or ten, abour Peer Pals. 2009 was a great beginning and with your support 2010 will be even better!
