Year-End Giving 2025

The holidays are a season of giving. But for thousands of Detroit kids, the greatest gift they could ever receive isn’t found under a tree. It’s the gift of safety, mentorship, and belonging during the most critical hours of the day.

From 3 to 7 p.m. the school day is done, but kids’ needs are far from over. These hours are a crossroads. They can be idle, unproductive time, or they can be filled with the kinds of experiences that shape character and change lives.

That is where Detroit PAL makes the difference.

PAL transforms those hours with structured programs, positive coaches, and mentors including police officers who guide kids toward their greatness. It is more than sports. It is about building respect, discipline, confidence, and a community every child deserves.
