Hundreds of women and children in Southwest Indiana who need a safe haven from the abuse of domestic violence will soon have a normal bit of everyday life restored while safe in a sheltered environment. The grant money was raised during Pacers regular-season games in 2007-2008. For every two-point field goal scored by the Pacers, Verizon Wireless donated $2 to the Pacers Foundation. �Having a playground provides a time for these women and their children to reconnect�to just talk and to be,� Perry said. �We serve women in 11 counties, from the heart of the city to remote rural areas of the state. Bringing some normalcy to their lives is important.”
