Adopt-a-Center Program is one way PAL strives to provide girls and
boys with more athletic and educational opportunities. Through grants,
gifts from individuals and corporate sponsorships, generous area foundations,
individuals and businesses "adopt" specific PAL centers.
The donated funds, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 per center, enable
PAL to expand educational curriculums, improve sports, maintain existing
programs and facilities, and institute new activities for youth at
these sponsored sites.
Sponsors also benefit when they contribute to PAL's Adopt-a-Center
campaign. Employees from the sponsoring organization have the opportunity
to mentor youth, serve as literacy tutors or help coach basketball
games. The sponsors also receive significant recognition and publicity
in print and on television for their charitable contributions. In
addition, each sponsor has the opportunity to present the Adopt-a-Center
donation in person to the Philadelphia Police Commissioner and many
grateful PAL girls and boys.
Thank you to the many Adopt-a-Center sponsors whose generous support
has been instrumental in "Cops Helping Kids."
PAL center adoptions are renewed annually so one of the centers
listed as adopted may become available for you to adopt
in the future. If you are interested in adopting a PAL center please
contact the PAL Grants Manager listed above.
