Austin PAL Boxing is a youth development program where police officers and volunteers help youth grow through positive sportsmanship and other beneficial life skills. PAL programs are free for all youth.
Austin PAL was founded as a nonprofit organization for the purpose of bringing youth together with APD officers in an effort to break down barriers that sometimes exist.
All proceeds benefit the Austin PAL program. For more information on this and other Austin PAL programs, visit www.facebook.com/apdpal and www.austinpal.org or contact Senior Police Officer Jeremy Bohannon and Jeremy.Bohannon@austintexas.gov or 512-974-4742.
