June 27, 2018

WHAT:                    2018 Police Athletic League Summer Camp
  
WHEN:                   Thursday, June 28 8:30 a.m.

WHERE:                 Sports Center of Richmond (SCOR) 1365 Overbrook Road

BACKGROUND:    The annual PAL Summer Camp is in full swing, and former VCU basketball star, Mo Alie-Cox will be providing words of encouragement to campers Thursday morning.
                                   
                                 A fan favorite, Alie-Cox is well known for his skills on the basketball court at Virginia Commonwealth University. He recently made the transition to football after signing a reserve/future contract with the Indianapolis Colts   

                                “For our young children, Alie-Cox represents something more than another NFL player,” said Sgt. Kenneth Peterson. “His VCU basketball journey and NFL career is a testament to all our campers that although you may not have all of the answers in life, perseverance, dedication, and commitment can most certainly help you find them.”

                                The Richmond PAL Summer Camp is designed to provide Richmond’s youth with a safe environment to participate in a variety of sports and educational opportunities. Participants build relationships with members of the Richmond Police Department. Officers mentor the students to become champions in life.
