NEW ORLEANS – The
New Orleans Hornets and
Offshore Liftboats, L.L.C.
will dedicate a new community playground on today, August 22 at 1:00
p.m. at
Holy Rosary Catholic School (12925 East Main Street, Larose,
La.).
Hornets radio play-by-play announcer Sean Kelley will host the
event and Hugo and the Honeybees will be on hand to help dedicate the
playground.
The playground was designed to represent the
Hornets with the use of the organization’s unique color scheme.
“The
Hornets have had a relationship with
Offshore Liftboats for the
last five years and they’ve not only demonstrated their commitment to
the organization, but to the community over that time,” said Tom Benson,
Owner/Chairman of the
Hornets and
Saints. “We are proud to partner with
Offshore Liftboats on this beautiful, new playground in Larose. We hope
it gives students at
Holy Rosary, in addition to kids in the community,
the opportunity to be active and enjoy playing with their friends.”
Offshore Liftboats has been a long-time supporter of
Holy Rosary Catholic School as it continues to build upon its reputation as one of
the finest Catholic diocesan schools within Lafouche and Terrebonne
Parishes. The school is currently undergoing a number of upgrades,
including a new student chapel and a meditation/prayer garden that will
feature walking paths and religious statues.
The new
playground will mark the second public facility that the
Hornets have
had a hand in refurbishing or building in the Larose community. Through
its partnership with BP, the Hornets refurbished a basketball court at
the Larose Regional Park & Civic Center.
