CARMEL, Ind., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CNO Financial
Group, the holding company for Bankers Life and other national life
and health insurers that serve middle-income working Americans and
retirees, will donate $19,300 to the
Pacers Foundation through its three-point charity program.
For the 2016-2017 season, CNO Financial pledged to donate
$50 to the Pacers Foundation for
every three-point shot scored by an Indiana Pacers player at
Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
A check presentation will be held at the Indiana Pacers' home
opener against the Brooklyn Nets at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on
October 18. During halftime, CNO
Financial Group CEO Ed Bonach will
once again pledge to donate $50 for
each of the Pacers' home three-pointers during the 2017–2018 NBA
season.
"For 19 straight years, CNO has been a proud supporter of the
Pacers' Foundation as we share a common goal to improve the lives
of young people within our community," said Bonach. "It's a great
feeling to know that every three-pointer the Pacers score at home
goes towards strengthening Indiana's future."
"The call of 'Boom Baby' from our former coach and current radio
analyst Bobby Leonard that
accompanies each Pacers fieldhouse three-pointer also represents a
'boom, baby' for the multiple organizations receiving Foundation
grants to assist at-risk Indiana
youth," said Pacers Foundation Board Chairman Rick Fuson. "We are extraordinarily grateful to
CNO for this long-standing program that gives us all reason to
stand up and cheer."
Since 1999, CNO Financial Group has donated nearly $278,000 to the Pacers Foundation to support its
mission to improving the quality of life of youth in Indiana by encouraging them to make winning
life choices through contributions and community partnerships.
