Football, bowling, co****le, and a whole lot of PAL!🏈🎳

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Urban Wild for our inaugural PAL Game Day on October 4th! From cheering on the Patriots to enjoying tailgate favorites, it was an afternoon filled with fun and community connection.

We loved bringing youth, friends, PAL supporters, and community partners together while supporting PAL’s mission to strengthen relationships between youth and law enforcement, and create meaningful opportunities for young people across Massachusetts. We were delighted that nearly 60 youth joined us for the event from Methuen Arlington Neighborhood Inc., QHS Basketball, Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence and Salesian Boys & Girls Club.

A special thank you to Urban Wild, our sponsors and everyone who helped make the day possible. Your support means so much, and we’re excited to share these highlights from a memorable event! 💙💛

PAL of MA is headed to the 131st Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America!

We are thrilled to announce that PAL of Massachusetts has been selected as an official charity partner for the 2027 Boston Marathon® — and we’re building our Team PAL of MA!

On April 19, 2027, five Team PAL runners will take on 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston while raising funds to support PAL programs in communities across Massachusetts.

At PAL of Massachusetts, we bring young people and law enforcement together in communities across the Commonwealth to build trust, develop leadership skills, and create lasting relationships.

Now, we’re bringing that mission to the Boston Marathon.

Every mile our runners complete and every dollar they raise will help create more opportunities for young people across Massachusetts to connect, grow, and build stronger relationships with the law enforcement officers who serve their communities.

Join Team PAL of MA
We are looking for five runners who are ready to take on the challenge and represent the PAL mission. Each runner will commit to raising a minimum of $10,000 to support PAL programs.
Team PAL of MA runners will receive:
• Guaranteed entry into the 131st Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America
• Team PAL of MA race apparel
• Fundraising support and resources from PAL staff
• Recognition as an official Team PAL of MA runner
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on youth and communities across Massachusetts

Interested in running for Team PAL of MA?
Our Boston Marathon® Interest Form is now open. If you’re ready to take on 26.2 miles and raise $10,000 for PAL, we’d love to hear from you.

Remembering September 11, 2001

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, PAL of Massachusetts remembers the lives lost and honors the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, military personnel, and countless others who served that day and in the years that followed.

We remember their service. We honor their sacrifice. And we stand together as communities.

Never forgotten.
