The Indiana Fever have announced a partnership with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity to help build a new home for a local Indianapolis single mother and her son. The Fever organization will kick off the project by assembling interior and exterior wall panels at Gainbridge Fieldhouse that will be used in the construction of the three-bedroom, two-bath house in the Devon Creek Community. The home is expected to be move-in ready by the fall.
