Emirates has partnered with NBA Cares to renovate the technology and gaming room at the Wheeler-Dowe Club in Indianapolis. This project is part of the NBA Cares Finals Legacy Projects, an initiative aimed at positively impacting communities across the United States. Emirates serves as this year's presenting partner.

The unveiling ceremony marked the second restoration effort by NBA Cares within a week, following a similar project in Oklahoma County. The event was attended by representatives from Emirates, the NBA, Indiana Pacers, and local community officials. Notable speakers included Mark Tatum, NBA Deputy Commissioner; Joe Hogsett, Mayor of Indianapolis; Matthew Jones from Emirates; and executives from Indiana Pacers like Steve Simon and Mel Raines.

This refurbishment is part of Emirates' broader commitment to uplifting U.S. communities and supporting youth development through sports and recreation. The newly renovated game room at Wheeler-Dowe Club now features updated technology, gaming equipment, new furniture, and accessible storage for books and games.
