Slam Dunk Christmas

Over the Christmas break, six kids that are a part of Young & Established had the amazing opportunity to see their first NBA game. This was an actual road trip to Indianapolis that I'm sure they will never forget. You can certainly see the excitement in their eyes, and they all had cool Indiana Pacers bags too!

As these kids grow up, they will look back on this trip and remember that hard work pays off.

Indiana Pacers beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-114

For the past six years, I've drooled over photos of my beautiful friends all dressed up for the Annual Black and White Ball. Obviously, it's for an amazing cause, so why haven't I dressed up and enjoyed the night? Well, it starts at 9:00 PM, and I turn into a pumpkin around 8:00 PM! The 7th Annual Black and White Ball is coming up in February. DETAILS and TICKET INFO
