K-PAL receives donation at new Kukui Grove Center facility
LIHUE — The Kauai Police Activities League (K-PAL) received a check for $2,000 last
week from Enterprise Holdings Foundation at its new Lihu`e location at Kukui Grove Center.
"We are so grateful for every donation to our program because investing in our youth
today is an investment in our community's future," said Kauai Police Chief Todd G. Raybuck
during the check presentation ceremony on Dec. 20. "Every contribution to K-PAL is directed
toward providing keiki with positive after -school opportunities that they might not otherwise
receive."
The recently donated funds will be directed toward the K-PAL program, which includes
hosting activities out of a new spacious location at the shopping mall and creating a positive role
model atmosphere for youth who are interested in interactive sports.
K-PAL is a non-profit organization coordinated by the Kauai Police Department, offering
various islandwide programs to approximately 1,000 youth ages 5 to 18. Its goal is to encourage
good behavior, a healthy lifestyle, deter youth from illegal drugs and crime, and help them reach
their full potential.
The new location at Kukui Grove Center, next to Starbucks, offers yet another place
where keiki can connect to adult mentors and where police -community relations are
strengthened through activities, such as boxing.
For more information on the K-PAL program, activities, or to volunteer and get involved,
visit the K-PAL website at www.kauaipal.org or call Sgt. Lance Okasaki at 241-1647.
Enterprise Holdings Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Enterprise Holdings, which,
through its integrated network of independent regional subsidiaries and franchises, operates the
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands.
