The Brick Township Police Athletic League, or PAL, was founded in 1975 and in 1995 opened a youth center, complete with a boxing ring, gym and all-purpose main room. The PAL offers after-school programs and activities for children; a summer camp where kids go on excursions to the beach and museums and play sports at the facility; recreational activities for adults and children, including boxing and self-defense classes; and charitable events throughout the year to help those less fortunate in the Brick community.
