Fever’s Catchings honored at luncheon

INDIANAPOLIS – One month before opening the final training camp of her pro career, Indiana Fever star Tamika Catchings was honored Tuesday by dignitaries from Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.

The Legacy Luncheon highlighted Catchings for her 15 seasons as part of the Indiana Fever franchise, and her acts of generosity and sportsmanship, and the continued efforts of her 11-year Catch The Stars Foundation which promotes literacy, fitness and mentoring.

The luncheon began with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett proclaiming “Tamika Catchings Day” throughout the city. Later, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence presented Catchings with the state’s Sagamore of the Wabash award.

The luncheon was closed by keynote speaker Tony Dungy, former Indianapolis Colts coach and a community advocate with Catchings, who wrote the foreword in her recent autobiography, “Catch A Star.”
