Film premiere: “Champions: Celebrating 50 Years of SFPAL.”
This video was created for the 50th anniversary party of SFPAL in early November 2009. It highlights some of the police officers and civilian volunteers who have dedicated themselves so selflessly to the cause. And it highlights a few of the thousands of young success stories from the program.
SFPAL Packs Out 50th Anniversary Event
A sell-out crowd of over 400 people came out to celebrate 50 years of SFPAL history and cheer as 19 coaches, mentors, police officers and professional athletes were inducted into the SFPAL inaugural Hall of Fame.
Welcome to the second 50 years
This year the San Francisco Police Activities League turned a half-century old. But along with the opportunity to look back at all our inspiring SFPAL champions — the kids who won the championships, the kids who tried, the kids who just worked hard everyday and the coaches who championed all of their causes every step of the way — it gives us a chance to look ahead.
