Project Smile in the Press

The Boston Celtics have honored Project Smile and the organization's founder and executive director Catherine Pisacane, as a "Hero Among Us." During the Celtics November 10, 2006 game, Ms. Pisacane was honored for her initiative to make a difference and for her dedication to helping youth in their time of need. Established in 1997, the Heroes Among Us program honors those individuals who have made an overwhelming impact in the lives of others and lasting contributions to our community. At each home game, the Celtics and their fans have saluted the exemplary efforts of these citizens during a special in-game presentation on the team's legendary parquet floor. To date, over 387 individuals have received the "Heroes Among Us" award.
