Executive Director's Statement

Happy New Year Henrico PAL Friends,
First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, community partners, board members, staff members and police officers for their tremendous support. Through your contributions, Henrico Police Athletic League has continued to build positive relationships between police officers and thousands of youth. Secondly, on behalf of the board members, staff, and officers of Henrico PAL, we would like to thank our parents for entrusting us with your most treasured possession. At Henrico PAL, we truly believe that our children are society’s most valued commodity.
Your Henrico Police Athletic League is excited to announce the start of two new transformational initiatives that will be unveiled in February 2020. These two initiatives will consist of a comprehensive STEM Program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and a Financial Literacy Program that will equip Henrico PAL youth with the prerequisite knowledge to compete in a global world and ensure their vocational and financial success. These comprehensive programs will serve grades K through 12 and will become core curriculum in our After-School Programs, Summer Camp, and Youth Leadership Council.
Currently, your Henrico PAL continues to explore the identification of the necessary funding to build a Henrico PAL Youth and Family Recreation Center. To make this a reality it will take tremendous community support from individuals and organizations. This multi-use youth and family facility with host Henrico PAL programs and secure the organization’s future programmatic stability. The procurement of a Henrico PAL Youth and Family Recreation Center will provide generations of youth an opportunity to learn and play in a safe environment. Additionally, it will truly take a village to serve our youth who need it the most. Therefore, if you or someone you know are interested in partnering with us to support this goal, please call us at (804) 262-HPAL (4725) or email us at info@henricopal.org. All donations are tax deductible and can be made by visiting our website, or mailing your donation directly to us.
