FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2012 Contact: Tim Hicks, 317-294-0909 www.indyfine.com Indy Finest to play Chicago Lady Steam on Saturday Game proceeds will benefit Heather Norris Memorial Scholarship Fund … INDIANAPOLIS – Indy’s Finest, the city’s first Women’s American Basketball Association (WABA) team, will play the Chicago Lady Steam this Saturday at Perry Meridian Middle School. A portion of the game proceeds will be donated to the Heather Norris Memorial Scholarship Fund, named after the 20-year-old former Perry Meridian basketball star who was brutally murdered by her estranged high school boyfriend in 2007. The Finest launched their season in late March with a successful three-game tournament in Whiteland. “The women we’ve recruited to play for this team show up and give 110 percent at every practice and every game,” said team owner and local talent manager Tim Hicks. “Can’t afford a Pacers playoff ticket? Come watch these ladies on the court – and support the fight against domestic violence.” GAME DETAILS TEAMS: WABA’s Indy Finest and Chicago Steam DATE: Saturday, May 5, 2012 TIME: 2 p.m. tipoff LOCATION: Perry Meridian Middle School TICKETS: Up-and-coming local recording artist Jessie Phelps will sing the national anthem before the game.
