Ruben
Amaro, Jr.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have been one of the Police Athletic
League’s most active and supportive partners for several decades,
sponsoring the Ford PAL Center in South Philadelphia, the annual
Award Dinner, PAL Night at the Phillies, Junior Baseball Federation
and much more. Ruben Amaro, Jr.’s connection to PAL runs even
deeper than the ball club’s extensive and impressive dedication
to the Police Athletic League. He grew up in Northeast Philadelphia
and attended Gibbons PAL, where he showed promising skills not
just on the baseball diamond, but on the soccer field as well.
He is a co-founder of the Richie Ashburn Foundation, which provides
free baseball camps for 1,100 underprivileged children in the
Delaware Valley and awards grants for area schools and colleges.
In addition, he serves on the board for the Philadelphia Chapter
of the YMCA.

Daniel
Hilferty
Independence Blue Cross
A member of the Police Athletic League’s Honorary
Board, Daniel J. Hilferty has a long and treasured history with
PAL. While with his prior company, he ensured that PAL had the
extensive funding it needed to take its popular baseball program
to the next level with title sponsorship of PAL Baseball for
five years. Hilferty has continued that tradition at Independence
Blue Cross, with the company providing financial and volunteer
support for several PAL events and programs. Deeply committed
to our region, Hilferty lends his time and expertise to a number
of additional organizations, including the University of Pennsylvania
School of Nursing, Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition,
Irish Educational Development Foundation, American Red Cross
Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter and Drexel Neumann Academy.
He is also the Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees of Saint
Joseph’s University.

Jeffrey
Scarpello, Esq.
Penn-Del-Jersey Chapter, NECA

work is most evident in his work with the Police Athletic League.
He is a Board member, has co-chaired PAL’s Tribute Book Committee
and has been a long-time supporter of the Award Dinner, PAL
Night at the Phillies and PAL Night at the Sixers. In addition,
he serves on numerous charitable committees and was recently
recognized with the Scarpello family (his parents and ten siblings)
for their lifetime support of the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation
of Greater Philadelphia. He has received the Founder’s Award
by the Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter High School,
the Gold Heart Award by the Variety Club of Philadelphia and
the Support Center for Child Advocates' Distinguished Advocate
