Easter Seals Crossroads is proud to announce the 2010 Holiday Ornament featuring Hinkle Fieldhouse. This piece is the 21st in a series of limited edition, gold-on-brass ornaments featuring Indianapolis landmarks.
Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse on Butler University’s campus has served the University and the community since its construction in 1928. Originally built as Butler Fieldhouse, it was renamed in honor of legendary coach and athletic director Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle in 1966. The Fieldhouse held the Indiana High School State Championship basketball games from 1928 through 1971. The 1954 game featured future Butler start Bobby Plump who was later immortalized in the movie Hoosiers. The Fieldhouse served as a barracks for military trainees during World War II and has hosted political and civic leaders, indoor track meets, the Billy Graham crusade, tennis matches, concerts and much more. Hinkle Fieldhouse was updated in the early 1990s with its renovation honoring the original history, charm and character.
Created exclusively for Easter Seals Crossroads, this limited edition ornament not only will brighten the holidays, but also help the children and adults with disabilities and special needs who benefit from Easter Seals Crossroads programs and services.
