PALS Heroes reached an incredible milestone, with $1,000,000 raised by the locksmith and security industry in support of St. Jude Childrenâs Research Hospital.
This moment belongs to everyone who helped make it possible.
From every major manufacturer and distributor to trade shows, national and local associations, and professionals across the country, this was a true industry wide effort built on generosity, consistency, and purpose.
PALS Heroes has always stood for something bigger than Pop-A-Lock, bringing together the entire locksmith industry around a shared mission.
Supporting St. Judeâs work to advance cures and prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases, while ensuring families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food is truly humbling.
Being part of this effort for nearly a decade has had a lasting impact. This is more than a milestone. It is a reminder of what is possible when an entire industry comes together for something that truly matters.
And the work continues.
âNever underestimate the ability of a small group of determined individuals to make an impact, because it is often the only thing that ever does.â
