Join us for a warm and welcoming program that celebrates friendship, creativity, and a little bit of breakfast fun! You are invited to come dressed in your favorite pajamas and settle in for a delightful afternoon of storytelling and waffle-making.
We’ll start with engaging stories that highlight kindness and the joy of friendship, setting the tone for a meaningful afternoon together. Then, we will make delicious waffles and finally, we’ll move into a creative activity where each participant will design a special card for their Friendship Circle Friend to be shared at our end of the year Celebration of Friendship!

Celebrate Friendship 2026
2026-05-18 17:30 - 19:30
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.
