The 2026 PAL Awards Gala on June 2 will be a special evening celebrating leadership, service, and community impact across Philadelphia. As PAL brings together civic leaders, educators, advocates, and supporters committed to empowering youth and strengthening communities, we extend our sincere gratitude to our generous sponsors.

Your support makes this event possible and directly helps sustain PAL’s youth development, education, mentorship, and community-based programs throughout the city. Because of your partnership, PAL can continue providing safe spaces, meaningful opportunities, and positive experiences for young people and families across Philadelphia.

This year, PAL is proud to honor Hallee Adelman, documentary filmmaker, children’s author, and educator; Joseph G. Cacchione, MD, CEO of Jefferson; Ray Pennacchia, Senior Vice President of Select Medical Outpatient Division of Novacare and longtime PAL Board member; and Officer Joseph Ellerby, recipient of the 2026 Lew Klein PAL Officer of the Year Award.

We thank our sponsors for their continued commitment to PAL’s mission and for investing in the future of Philadelphia’s youth.
