KIC Pals
KIC Pals provides funding and active support for Kids Island Club youth sports programs. Our volunteer Pals organize group youth sports activities at the park as well as field trips with local youth to professional sporting games and to indoor athletic facilities.
KIC Pals also supports the KIC Sports school year program, providing critically needed funds that helped bus 2,800 local children to Randall's Island this past year for sports activities and events.
The efforts of KIC Pals help combat severe physical health issues that disproportionately affect under-resourced City children. East and Central Harlem and the South Bronx have some of the highest rates in the City for obesity, heart disease, asthma, and teen pregnancy. Studies show that sports activities and active role models such as those provided by KIC Pals can be beneficial for all these health issues.
