SIZZLING SEPTEMBER AT PALM!

PALM continues our wellness efforts throughout the month of September, and we invite you to join us for a very special event. PALM is excited to participate in the Saint Joseph’s University Kinney Center Walk/Run for Autism on Saturday, September 20, 2025.

We are walking on behalf of older adults living with Autism, because children diagnosed with Autism grow into adults, and adults grow into seniors. PALM stands with them every step of the way.

👉 Join PALM’s Sponsored Team and walk with us in support of older adults living with Autism! 

(PALM’s Team Table – Registration Covered.)

📍 Location: Saint Joseph’s University (Connelly Hall)

👉 Register here to register: Kinney Walk/Run for Autism

🚗 Free Parking: Hawk’s Landing Parking Garage (N. 54th Street, Philadelphia, PA) with shuttle service to the start/finish line.

💙 All proceeds from the walk will directly benefit Saint Joseph’s University Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support.

💙 If you are not able to attend the walk, you may still donate in support of PALM’s Walking Team! Please click this link [insert PayPal link]. All proceeds benefit Saint Joseph’s University Kinney Center Walk/Run for Autism.

One key sponsor of this event is PALM’s very own Board Member, Emma Benn! We are grateful for her leadership and dedication, and we encourage everyone to support Emma’s team or contribute to the cause as we walk together to make a difference.

Let’s walk together to raise awareness, show support, and celebrate the resilience of all people living with Autism, through every stage of life

PALM proudly acknowledges that our very own Board Member, Bernice Green, is being recognized by the Philadelphia Conference Lay Organization at their 2025 Annual Awards Luncheon as an Unsung Hero.

On behalf of PALM’s staff, members, Board of Directors, and the community at large, we celebrate this well-deserved honor and extend our heartfelt thanks to Bernice for her tireless dedication, selfless service, and countless contributions on behalf of older adults and the broader community. Congratulations, Bernice!

Mrs. Geraldine Mills

It is with deep sorrow that we inform you of the passing of one of PALM’s longtime members, Mrs. Geraldine Mills. Geraldine was a cherished part of our community, faithfully attending Bible Study, participating in our afternoon lunch program for many years, and joining in our Chair Tappers group.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her sons, Barry and Todd, and ask that you keep them and, all who knew and loved her, in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

“Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood our souls.”
