The Police Activities League of Sumner is proud to highlight the continued success of our PAL Badges & Boxing program. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we’ve received not only financial contributions to support initiatives like Camp Possible and other future youth programs, but also vital equipment donations.
A special thank you goes to Officer Craig Hanuami of the Bellevue Police Department. After connecting with Officer Anderson, Officer Hanuami learned about our need for boxing equipment. Demonstrating true community spirit, he partnered with Barry Nakayama who runs a local martial arts gym in Issaquah, who generously donated several pairs of boxing gloves for our Badges & Boxing program.
Officer Hanuami’s support exemplifies the kind of interagency collaboration that uplifts and strengthens communities. While he already goes above and beyond for his own city, his outreach and dedication now extend to the youth of Sumner, and we are deeply grateful.
We are also grateful to highlight our partnership with the Gordon Family YMCA, where Badges & Boxing became a program offered at Teen Night on Fridays. Last Friday was the opening night and was a great turnout and great time.
These partnerships are essential as we continue to expand our programs. We are excited to watch our youth grow, learn, and thrive through the opportunities made possible by these connections.
Thank you again to everyone who contributes to our mission.

We thank you.
