Hollywood PAL would like to acknowledge the LA84 Foundation for their generous grant in the amount of $24,000 in support of both the PAL Martial Arts Program and Hollywood PAL Soccer.  The LA84 Foundation was established to manage Southern California's share of the surplus from the highly successful 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. 
Thank you again, LA84!
