Fever’s Catchings to receive award for youth work

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever forward Tamika Catchings will receive the Rev. Charles Williams Award on June 28 for her work with youngsters in Indianapolis.

The award is named for the late president of Indiana Black Expo and is presented each year by that group in conjunction with the Indiana Sports Corp. as part of the Pathfinder Awards Banquet and Youthlinks Indiana charity golf tournament.

Golfer Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara, and NCAA president Myles Brand also will receive Pathfinder awards.

Catchings has worked with youngsters through her Catch the Stars Foundation and has given more than $25,000 in scholarships to area students.
