Mango Fest Key West is more than just a celebration of mangoes. It's also the largest fundraiser for kids in the area. The event benefits the Police Athletic League (PAL), a juvenile crime prevention program that relies heavily on education, athletics, and recreational activities to foster a stronger bond between cops and kids. PAL's programs are designed to get children involved in sports and educational programs, providing a safe place where kids can go after school and on weekends to build teamwork and strong self-esteem.
