Experience one of the most exciting walks in Charlotte! The Pajama Walk by Friendship Circle & ZABS Place!
Join us at McAlpine Creek Park for the 6th annual Pajama Walk presented by Lowe’s Companies Inc. Able Business Resource Group.
The Pajama Walk raises awareness and funds for Friendship Circle & ZABS Place to support genuine inclusive friendships, job training, employment, and placement for individuals with special needs abilities.
Wondering Why Pajamas? Well, pajamas are comfortable, and no one worries about whether they match or what others might say. That’s exactly the kind of community we’re working on building. We want everyone to feel comfortable being themselves and not worrying about whether they “match” everyone else.
Of course, we also dream in pajamas and we’re all about making dreams come true for children, teens, and adults of ALL abilities. Join us and #MakeDreamsComeTrue!

Celebrate Friendship 2026
2026-05-18 17:30 - 19:30 | Selkin Family Friendship Circle Center, 6619 Sardis Road, Charlotte, NC, 28270, United States
Join the Friendship Circle of Charlotte for our premier end-of-year inclusive community event at the Chabad Center Social Hall on Sardis Road. As a leading organization for disability inclusion in Charlotte, NC, we are proud to host this special evening dedicated to fostering genuine friendships between typically-developing teens and children, teens, and young adults with special needs.
This year, the Friendship Circle of Charlotte has been more than just a series of Sunday afternoons; it has been a journey. From the quiet moments of connection in our Beco-Sensory Room to the high-energy laughter over Giant Jenga and baking projects, we have built a “Friendship Path” that leads straight to a more inclusive Charlotte.
On May 18th, we aren’t just hosting a dinner. We are gathering to honor the deep, life-changing bonds formed this year and to salute our Teen Graduates—the young leaders who have spent their high school years proving that friendship is the ultimate bridge-builder. We invite you to sit at our table, share a meal, and help us celebrate the beautiful circle we’ve built together.
