For the second time this year, the Turlock Sports Park will be hosting a fundraiser in support of Turlock’s Police Activities League (PAL), the non-profit organization with the primary goal of promoting a constructive relationship between law enforcement and the youth of Turlock.

Like in May, the Turlock Sports Park will be putting on a three-day, multi-sport camp that allows children to be trained and cheered on by members of local law enforcement. 

The camp will be held from Nov. 14-16 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day. Each day of the camp will highlight a different sport — soccer, basketball and flag football. The camp is open to children ages 5 to 12.

“This is a great opportunity for the youth in our community to train with experienced trainers and be a part of something special,” the Turlock Sports Park states on their website.

Registration for the camp is $99, with all proceeds going towards Turlock PAL. 

May’s inaugural event raised $3,000 for the local organization, which contributes to Turlock’s Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities department to keep summer and after-school programs active. In addition to providing a safe place for kids to go and learn, they also foster a connection with the youth and law enforcement.
