Mission Statement

PAB'S PACKS is a nonprofit organization providing comfort and encouragement to chronically ill teens by donating custom backpacks filled with select items to enhance their hospital stay.

Description

After experiencing long hospital stays and facing chronic illnesses of their own, Pia and Abbie created PAB'S PACKS in 2014 with the desire to give back and connect with other sick teens. Since then, we've provided over 5,000 packs through 30 partnerships with children's hospitals and specialized summer camps nationwide.

We are continuing to expand, and have a long-term vision of seeing PAB'S PACKS represented in children's hospitals and summer camps across all 50 states. In 2019, our goal is to fulfill our current waitlist of hospitals by increasing our yearly donation of packs from 2,500 to 3,500. By the end of 2019 we expect to see our reach span half of the continental U.S. with the addition of 10 new hospitals in 10 new states.
