On Dec. 5, 2007 from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m., the computer lab, the Emma Jean Pack Multi-Purpose Room and the gymnasium will be officially dedicated at a ribbon cutting ceremony.

As part of the dedication, guests will have the opportunity to see the enhancements made to the Christamore House by Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Sun Electric, Trane Incorporated and United Sign companies.

In addition, students utilizing the Christamore House will have the opportunity to "christen" the gymnasium by participating in a basketball clinic conducted by former Pacers players Darnell Hillman and LaSalle Thompson.

NBA Cares is the league's social responsibility initiative that builds on the NBA's long tradition of addressing important social issues in the United States and around the world. Through this umbrella program, the NBA, its teams and players have committed to donating $100 million to charity, providing a million hours of hands on service to the community and creating 250 places where kids and families can live, learn or play.

The Christamore House, in partnership with the communities of Marion County, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families towards self sufficiency through diverse social, educational, recreational and health programs. The Christamore House is located on the west side of Indianapolis at 502 N. Tremont.
