As
part of NBA GREEN WEEK, The Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland
Gladiators are ready to spring into action for the third annual 2012
Cavaliers GREEN WEEK presented by Republic Services April 4th through
April 11th.
On
April 5th, Cavs team members, along with Gladiators players Robert
Redd, Levy Brown and Nyere Aumaitre (Nye-air-E - O-may-tree) will dig,
plant and paint alongside the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental
Disabilities to help beautify local urban farms. These farming sites are
part of a developing agriculture employment program, through the Board,
designed to provide work opportunities for adults with developmental
disabilities.
"We
are increasingly dedicated to raising our eco-awareness and doing what
it takes to make our operations more environmentally friendly," says
Cavs Executive Vice President and COO Kerry Bubolz. "NBA Green Week is
the perfect opportunity to share with fans the great things we do to be
sustainable at The Q and how they can adopt positive eco-habits into
their daily lives as well."
The
Cleveland Gladiators are part of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken
Loans Arena organization and also owned by a group led by Cavaliers
Majority Owner and Quicken Loans Founder and Chairman Dan Gilbert. The
group also owns and operates the Lake Erie Monsters of the American
Hockey League playing at Quicken Loans Arena and the Canton Charge of
the NBA Development League playing in nearby Canton, Ohio at the Canton
Civic Center.
