Forget Lollapalooza. Pacific Park and the Santa Monica Police Activities League (PAL) will be holding their first PALpalooza benefit. The focus of this year’s PALpalooza is to assist PAL in raising money to maintain or develop programs and projects at its facility, which in turn will help the children in the Santa Monica area. Cultural, educational and recreational programs are under consideration for funds. PAL provides free programs for more than 1,600 youths throughout Santa Monica.
“We are delighted to be in partnership with the Police Activities League and support their important mission,” said Jeff Klocke, director of marketing at Pacific Park.
Pacific Park will donate all food, games and rides for the PALpalooza event. PAL will retain all funds generated from event ticket sales. In addition, more than 200 PAL kids will be hosted. This event will take place on Wednesday, June 29, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Advance tickets are on sale now for $15 per person or $50 for a family of four. Each ticket includes admission on all Pacific Park rides, one free meal voucher, $6 in game bucks and a choice of a popcorn or cotton candy. Tickets can be purchased by calling (310) 458-8988 or in person at the Santa Monica PAL Youth Center at 1401 Olympic Blvd. Building up a foodbank
