More than 35 years ago, Merle Palmer knew that the underrepresented youth in his community could achieve so much more with the help and guidance of a caring adult. Today, nearly 600 young adults throughout Pierce County have entered our program, achieving their goal of a better life through higher education. Whether you are a Scholar, a mentor, a community supporter or donor, you are the living manifestation of Merle Palmer's greatest dream: a world where all in the community unite to help their youth thrive.

This hoodie is everything you've dreamed of and more. It feels soft and lightweight, with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and flattering for both men and women. All profits from the sale of these hoodies go towards the many services we provide our bright, compassionate Palmer Scholars.
