The 2020 PAL Awards and Auction will be a Virtual Celebration!
Dear Friends of the Police Athletic League of Philadelphia,
Since we are unable to hold the annual PAL Award Dinner this year, we have taken our event virtual in an effort to show our appreciation for this year’s PAL Award recipients and the men and women of the PAL Police Unit. This year’s honorees are Bernie Prazenica, President and GM at 6abc, Verizon and WSFS.
In addition to presenting the PAL Award – our organization’s highest honor, the annual PAL Award Dinner is also our largest fundraiser, bringing in nearly 35% of the funding necessary to operate 20 PAL Centers across Philadelphia. The dollars raised through this event ensure the PAL Police Officers running our centers have the space, equipment, support staff and supplies necessary to provide meaningful programming to nearly 7,000 kids every year.
With so much going on in our world, hitting our fundraising goal this year is as important as ever and so we are hopeful you will find a way to support us.
Please consider:
- Becoming a Sponsor or Making a Donation: It costs on average $435 to serve each child a year. That’s 12 months of fun, safe and free programming with a Philadelphia Police Officer.
- Bid in the Online Auction: PAL’s blockbuster auction continues to be one of Philadelphia’s premier auctions!
- Sharing: The Annual Awards typically gathers 1,000 of PAL’s closest friends, many of whom partner with PAL and contribute to this event every year. Help us reach even more people by sharing this eblast and Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter posts to your network.
As always, we are truly grateful to those who have already committed to supporting our Annual Award Dinner & Auction. Please help spread the word about our need for support! It’s because of Friends like you that we continue our mission of Cops Helping Kids.
My colleague, Ashley Rapp, is available to answer any questions or discuss how you can help. She may be reached at arapp@phillypal.org or 267-664-4631.
Thank you for your consideration and stay safe.
