Give PAL A High Five!
This year Detroit PAL is celebrating its 55th anniversary. PAL offers sports and enrichment programs to over 9,000 Detroit area youth annually. We create safe spaces for children to play and learn so they are able to develop the self-confidence they need to go far in life. Over the years, more than 300,000 participants have been served through PAL’s programming. Our alumni have gone on to positively impact our city, state, and country – both on and off of the field. It takes teamwork to create this magnitude of impact. PAL’s success is the result of dedicated partners, volunteers, parents, coaches, staff, and donors who are committed to empowering our youth. Together, we can further our mission of helping youth find their GREATness. Give PAL a HIGH FIVE through your generous support and be a part of building a brighter future for our youth.
