PAL Day at the Penn Ice Rink!

On Tuesday, April 4th, DPS and Penn’s Division of Business Services hosted over 200 area youth for an afternoon of skating and pizza at the Penn Ice Rink/Class of 1923 Area. Volunteers from St. Joe’s Prep and Penn Ice Hockey clubs helped the kids to learn new skills and have a great time out on the ice.

About PAL:

PAL is “Cops Helping Kids.” We aspire to be the premier youth-serving organization in the city, by reducing crime, promoting character development, and improving educational outcomes. We accomplish this by having Philadelphia Police Officers, supported by civilians, offer educational, athletic, and recreational programs to youth in some of the city’s highest crime and lowest income neighborhoods. PAL Centers are safe havens, offering a variety of free programs and other events to attract engage and develop more than 18,000 of Philadelphia’s youth.
