Police Athletic League of Philadelphia hosts annual awards gala

PHILADELPHIA (WPHL) — The Philadelphia Police Athletic League held its annual awards gala Wednesday night.

The ceremony honors people who have gone above and beyond to help PAL. The event was held at The Switch House featuring a dinner, speakers, and a VIP reception.

“We have a lot of trouble in our city. We also have a lot of love in our city that comes from [organizations] like PAL,” said Aaron Foy, Wynnefield PAL Alumnus.

Officer Jackie Little was the Lew Klein PAL Officer of the Year.

“I know for a fact that I am making a difference. I’ve given out over a hundred scholarships. The kids come, they know that they have a place to come and be safe,” said Officer Little, holding back tears.
