kpalWho We Are - Kohler Police Athletic League, Inc

The KPAL is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to combat community juvenile delinquency by providing financial support to local organizations and scholarships for students. As an organization, the KPAL fosters and encourages in our youth a spirit of loyalty and faith in the American tradition and institutions.

The KPAL was organized in 1954. The original charter stated that the KPAL was organized to "police" the Village of Kohler during the Kohler strike. Over the years amendments have been made to the charter and currently membership includes past and present village residents, school district residents and school choice families.

The KPAL raises funds to support their mission through their various fundraising activities including their annual brat fry, Oktoberfest and more. This is possible through the generous donation of member’s time for these special events.

Through the efforts of the members of the KPAL, we have been able to support the following charities / activities with money raised through our many fundraising activities…

Promote educational efforts and provide a better understanding between law enforcement officers and the youth of community and encouragement of good citizenship for all.
