175 LOCAL KIDS TO WATCH DESMOND BANE PLAY SATURDAY NIGHT

(Richmond, IN)--175 Richmond and Wayne County kids are in for a great experience Saturday night.  That’s because a large group of community and business leaders have made it possible for all of those 175 kids and another 50 chaperones to get VIP treatment at the Indiana Pacers game and watch hometown hero Desmond Bane play for the Memphis Grizzlies.  Jamar Wright, who helped to organize the event, called the fact that local businesses are providing 225 tickets a "true community effort."  The group will be fed and watch the game from a suite.  The kids range in age from third graders to high school students.
