Police Athletic League’s horde of homegrown boxers isn’t exactly a bunch of limp noodles in the ring.

But thanks to an upcoming fundraiser, it’s the main course on their dinner plates.

Sponsored by the church at 701 N. Hiatus Road, The Knights of Columbus’ pasta pleaser benefit P.A.L.’s operations, which offer after school crime prevention programs like boxing and taekwondo to troubled juveniles.

Dishing out the platters of heaping pasta are servers like P.A.L. President Lincoln Mendez, Mayor Frank Ortis and his wife Barbara and city Police Chief Dan Giustino.

The plate of noodles will run diners $8 for adults and $6 for children under 12. For more information, call Jack Green at 954-986-5044, or visit www.ppines.com.
