Why Choose Pascale's Pals


Why choose Pascale’s Pals? Our future is created and determined for our children and further generations. They benefit the children and their families who spend a great deal of time at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, Missouri.

Were you ever really sick or to had to get surgery and spend all those days and nights in a creepy, cold hospital? The long waits you had to endure before a doctor saw you. The boredom of not having anything to do besides watch horrible television that you can barely hear over the hospital traffic. Most importantly, do you remember the pain you were in before, during, or after your stay and the meds that barely provided relief?

Pascale’s Pals is an organization with volunteers dedicated to making sure those are not the memories a child has when you stay at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Many of ongoing projects they have include patient wish baskets, beads for breath, and therapy center parties with gifts. In addition, the MU Student Chapter of Pascale’s Pals brings many crafts and hosts different activities in the playroom for the young children to be entertained on their stay. MU Student Chapter also hosts a “Take Out Tuesday”, where they let the young patients choose what restaurant foods they would like to eat and then have that food delivered to them.

Pascales’s Pals doesn’t forget about Mom and Dad. Pascale’s Pals has provided a place for massage therapy for the parents to relieve their stress as well. Every holiday is celebrated as well so that the children don’t miss out. Pascale’s Pals brings Santa and many other holiday characters to visit the children on those days.

Pascale’s Pals works directly with the staff and specialists of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital who know the children and family needs. Currently, they are hosting a fundraiser to raise money for a new children’s playroom and adolescent room. This project will cost about $200,000 and they are asking for donations. So if you want to do your part in easing the pain and stress of the children and families staying at this hospital, then please donate or attend the Columbia College Cornhole event so you can help PP while having a great time.
