At PAL Distributors, our commitment to the community goes far beyond business. We believe that supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back. This commitment was powerfully demonstrated at the Junior Achievement Manitoba Student Company Awards Gala Dinner held last night.

In an inspiring moment, Jack McLaughlin, President and CEO of Foampak and PAL Distributors, along with Gord Southall, PAL’s National Sales Manager, made a game-changing decision for Manitoba’s young entrepreneurs. Recognizing the remarkable growth of the JA Company Program and the dedication of its students, they doubled the bursary awards from $500 to $1,000 and increased PAL’s original $5,000 donation to an outstanding $25,000.

This investment will directly impact more than 200 students across Manitoba, equipping them with the tools, confidence, and support they need to explore entrepreneurship and leadership at a formative age.

These spontaneous acts of generosity reflect the values at the core of PAL and Foampak. When you do business with us, you’re partnering with a company that believes in reinvesting profits into the future through education, empowerment, and community development.

At PAL Distributors, we are proud to help shape tomorrow’s leaders—today.
