For the 16th consecutive season, the Indiana Pacers, in partnership with Pacers team ophthalmologist Dr. John Abrams, will present the Abrams Academic Achievement Awards at the Pacers vs. Houston Rockets game on Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Abrams Academic Achievement Awards were established to recognize area elementary and/or middle-school students for their academic and leadership performance in school.
This year the Indiana Pacers and Dr. Abrams selected 10 area middle and elementary schools in which to partner for this program, and from those schools, one 6th – 8th grade student was selected to receive the award. This year's partnering schools were: Belzer Middle School, Emma Donnan Middle School, John Marshall Community, Super School 19, Lynhurst 7th & 8th Grade Center, Anderson Preparatory Academy, Charles W. Fairbanks School #105, Christel House Academy South, Franklin Township Middle School East and Westlane Middle School.
Congratulations to the following students who will receive this year's Abrams Academic Achievement Awards. All of the students will receive four tickets to Sunday's game and be treated to a pregame dinner and reception. In addition, these students will be also recognized during a halftime, on-court ceremony. Each student will also receive a Laptop Computer, courtesy of Dr. Abrams, a Certificate of Achievement and Pacers goodie bag.
