And the winner is … Police Athletic League of Kansas City! For the 10th year, Ingram’s is pleased to award a year of free advertising worth $25,000 to a regional non-profit. This year’s winner is the Police Athletic League of Kansas City. Since its inception, this award has gone to an area non-profit drawn from the names of eligible organizations on whose behalf a com- pany or individual sponsor has marketed in the Philanthropy edition. This year’s sponsor—Basys Processing, Inc.—saw in the Police Athletic League of Kansas City a worthy organization that is helping develop positive relationships between the youth of Kansas City, Kan., and the city’s Police Department. Our thanks to Basys Processing for sponsoring, and our hearty congratulations to the entire team at the Police Athletic League of Kansas City, as Ingram’s 2022 Give a Charity a Chance winning organization. We’re pleased to have invested $250,000 to the extra- ordinary works of the Kansas City area non-profit community.
