Colfax Ave. Admission is free. <br /> The event will feature a live performance by the Pathfinders Drum Corps of the Berean Seventh-day <br /> Adventist Church in South Bend as well as brief presentations by each of the three award-winning <br /> projects. The Pathfinders Drum Corps,which mixes drumming and movement and is directed by Herbert <br /> Henley Jr.,was featured in two public performances during the 2011 All-America City Awards in Kansas <br /> City,Mo. <br /> South Bend was selected June 17 as an All-America City for 2011,winning the nation's oldest and most <br /> prestigious community award,often described as"a civic Oscar."A national panel of jurors chose South <br /> Bend and nine other cities from among 26 finalists. <br /> South Bend's application highlighted three projects, and its 60-member delegation included <br /> representatives of each of these groups: <br /> • Revitalization of the Northeast Neighborhood, in which neighborhood residents,the City of South <br /> Bend,the University of Notre Dame and other key partners redeveloped the area near campus. (This <br /> effort recently received the National League of Cities' 2010 Gold Award of Municipal Excellence.) <br /> • Transformation of the former Engman Natatorium, a public facility that was a landmark of <br /> segregation, into the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center,into a symbol of <br /> hope and opportunity as part of the city's museum campus. <br /> • Development of 2120 STARS,a grassroots effort among a coalition of parachurch agencies, <br /> student volunteers and others to create a peer-to-peer intervention effort to reduce high-school <br /> dropout rates. <br />
