PAL to Serve Pontiac Youth with Sports and Mentorship
(compiled, April 12, 2015)
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard is joining forces with community leaders, sports figures and others who care about kids for the Police Athletic League (PAL).
The mission of the PAL Program is to create a safe environment and a structure within which law enforcement will support and inspire young people to reach their full potential, utilizing athletics and other programs geared to improving the lives of participants.  Such programs promote self-confidence, self-esteem, civic engagement, academic achievement, and help create and form better members of society.
The Official PAL Kickoff, sponsored by Meijer and the Power Company Kids Club, is going to take place at the Palace of Auburn Hills on April 18^th in the Chairman’s Club from 5:30 – 7:30 PM. Kickoff will include a special Meet & Greet with the World Famous Harlem Globetrotters, tickets to the Globetrotters game, and a Banquet Reception.
Sponsorships are available for the event, and there will be ongoing mentorship opportunities, and a website specifically for PAL coming soon. Learn more at https://www.oakgov.com/sheriff.
