PALS Club was founded in September 1928 by a diverse group of professionals from Dayton, Wilberforce, and Xenia, Ohio. The organization was originally formed by doctors, educators, lawyers, and tradesmen who united with a shared purpose of fellowship and civic advancement. For nearly a century, PALS has remained dedicated to community service, leading social, educational, and professional initiatives that inspire youth, foster inclusion, and strengthen cultural ties across generations.
For nearly 100 years, PALS has bridged divides, supported integration, and advanced excellence in art, literature, and science.
We remain committed to fostering opportunity and unity through sustained community service and professional development.
