Southern California Surf News Release
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) salutes the ABA Pittsburgh Xplosion's innovative new program that provides free tickets for games to our military (and police, fire, EMC and other heroes). Joe Newman, ABA CEO stated, "This is a kind and generous program implemented by Freddie Lewis and the fine people at the Xplosion - it is their way of saying "thank you for helping to keep us safe. We hope that many will avail themselves of the opportunity to see exciting professional basketball in Pittsburgh."
The ABA has recently created a new program called ABA Salute (www.abasalute.com) that pays tribute to the the US Military and its families with a new line of merchandise featuring a unique Salute logo. Proceeds from the sale of this merchandise will go towards scholarships to college, proprietary and vocational schools for the military and its families. "We are hoping that everyone will buy a t-shirt, hat, jacket or other merchandise," said Jennifer Hester, ABA Salute Coordinator, "because this is another way of saying Thank You to these great men and women who protect our freedom." For more information, email jennifer@abasalute.com or visit www.abasalute.com or www.abalive.com.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
