The Ventura Police Activities League, better known as Ventura PAL, is a not for profit 501c3 charitable organization. Our mission is to promote involvement between the youth, the police, and the citizens of the City of Ventura by providing meaningful programs in the areas of sports, academics, education, and recreation; to improve the conditions and relationships within the community of Ventura; to promote scholastic opportunities; to foster and encourage faith in American principles and traditions; and to encourage the development of sportsmanship, friendship, citizenship, and good will within the youth of the City of Ventura.
Ventura Police Activities League programs help create strong bonds between our youth, police department and the community we serve. The Ventura Police Activities League encourages kids to stay in school and helps fund mentoring, tutoring, recreation and educational after-school activities. The teamwork of the Ventura Police Activities League, our City and the Ventura Unified School District help disadvantaged youth grow into productive citizens and gives us a positive and proactive approach to crime prevention.

On Friday, June 7, 2013 we will be holding our 16th Annual PAL Golf Tournament proudly presented by Aera Energy at the Olivas Links Golf Course in Ventura, CA. Last year, the event raised over $30,000 in support of our local youth and after school activities and programs.
This event is our main fundraiser of the year and our goal for 2013 is to of course beat our total from last year; but we can’t do it without YOUR generous support.
The day promises to be a fun filled day of golf, prizes, great food (lunch will be provided by Scooter’s BBQ), and camaraderie. The best part is all money raised stays local and helps support our goal of providing our youth with positive after school activities to counteract the risk factors often present in their daily lives.
Players will have an opportunity to win cars, awards, and cash prizes ranging from $500 to over $250,000, through various Hole In One, putting contest, and other specialty holes.
Here’s how you can help us continue to make a difference in the lives of our local youth…..
We want to thank all of you in advance for your support. If you have any questions about the golf tournament or the PAL program, please call 805.339.4443.
