Newly Formed Bucks Co. Police Athletic League Announces 'Raise A Drink' Fundraiser

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Bucks County Sheriff's Office has announced its first major fundraiser in September for its newly formed Bucks County Police Athletic League (P.A.L.).

The P.A.L. program, which officially launched in early August, was founded by Sheriff Fred Harran to enhance community engagement and ensure Bucks County youth have access to safe, free athletic programming. Its first initiative, a boxing class for teens ages 11 to 17 held at the Joe Hand Boxing Gym in Feasterville, was an immediate success, filling up and generating a wait list.

To meet the demand, the Sheriff’s Office is inviting the community to a "Raise a Drink" fundraising event on Wednesday, September 10 from 5-7 p.m. at Chambers 19 in Doylestown. The event will provide a unique opportunity for residents to support the P.A.L. program while being served by "Celebrity Bartenders" Sheriff Fred Harran and 1210 AM WPHT radio host Dom Giordano.

The funds are crucial to Sheriff Harran’s long-term vision of regionalizing the P.A.L., which he modeled after a successful youth league in Bensalem that grew to serve over 1,200 kids. "For law enforcement officers to be breaking down those barriers with kids … is so valuable. It’s priceless," said Harran.
