Albany Police Activities League Receives Grant

The (APAL) is pleased to announce we have been awarded a Youth Grant from the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. The grant will fund new equipment for the middle school wrestling program as well as mats for the Aikido program. All of our participants will also enjoy new t-shirts purchased with this grant.

This is the seventh consecutive year APAL has received a Youth Grant. Previous grants have been used for Aikido and wrestling uniforms, including head gear and knee pads, sanitation supplies for wrestling, self-defense equipment, and mats for the wrestling program.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame (BASHOF) began in 1979 with the two-fold goal of recognizing the great athletes of the Bay Area and to help kids play sports.  There is no brick and mortar building for the Hall of Fame, so all money raised is used for scholarships and youth grants. More than $3 million has been awarded to over 500 youth organizations since the beginning of BASHOF.

Thank you Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame for your continued support of APAL. It is because of organizations like you we are able to provide a wide variety of opportunities for the youth of our community.
