MULTI-PLATINUM, GRAMMY-WINNING CASTING CROWNS ANNOUNCES SPRING LEG OF ‘THE VERY NEXT THING’ TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS DANNY GOKEY AND UNSPOKEN

Following Successful Fall Run, Tour Will Hit Another 40+ Cities This Spring, Presented By Compassion International and Museum Of The Bible

Tickets On Sale In Most Markets Dec. 9

Multi-platinum selling and GRAMMY® winning group Casting Crowns will hit the road again this spring for the second leg of “The Very Next Thing” Tour, featuring K-LOVE Radio’s Male Artist of the Year Danny Gokey and special guests Unspoken. Presented by Compassion International and Museum of the Bible, the 40-city arena tour kicks off Feb. 16, in Baltimore and will make stops in markets like Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Orlando, Tampa, Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, Houston, and many more before wrapping up in San Antonio on May 7.

“The Very Next Thing” Tour supports Casting Crowns’ newest studio album, The Very Next Thing, (Beach Street/Reunion). This marks the group’s 15th release and eighth studio album since the label debut release in 2003. With more than 10 million records sold, Casting Crowns has held the position of Billboard’s top-selling act in Christian music since 2007.

Casting Crowns began in, serves in and continues to be rooted in the local church. It is at the local level that they are walking along with people in ministry and where the inspiration for albums are formed.

“Because we have the honor of walking with people in our churches, we get to see what people are going through – the issues that are impacting everyone now,” shares front man Mark Hall. “It is in these situations that ideas are born for what we all need to hear right here right now.”

The Very Next Thing is full of intimate songs as well as upbeat, fresh sounding tracks that will meet the listener with lyrics that impact with a strong message song after song.

Hall shares the inspiration behind the new album and title. “We are all in different stages of ‘next.’ There’s a next step from where you are right now. We all feel like there’s a stage that we have to reach to move on to what is next – but God has you right here right now for your ‘next,’ and all of these songs touch on that idea.”

Casting Crowns continues to impact audiences with their powerful lyrics and live show as they have performed for more than six million fans. In addition, more than 85,000 child sponsorships have resulted through Casting Crowns’ live shows. For more information on “The Very Next Thing” Tour, visit www.CastingCrowns.com.

Gokey’s “American Idol” success also helped provide a platform for him to launch Sophia’s Heart, an organization founded to carry on the legacy of giving started by his late wife, who passed away during a routine heart surgery in 2008.

Pacers Cares, Fever Cares “Season of  Giving” Effort to Involve Seven Indiana Cities

INDIANAPOLIS – For the seventh consecutive year, JAKKS Pacific Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) Chairman and CEO Stephen Berman has reached out to his close friend, Pacers Sports & Entertainment owner Herb Simon, with a major donation of toys for Hoosier children.

In celebration of the Pacers’ 50th season, JAKKS is providing toys to 50 non-profit organizations throughout Indiana. Next week the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever will tip off a state-wide distribution of the toys by joining local police departments and schools in ceremonies in Terre Haute, Bloomington, Evansville, Muncie and Lafayette. In Fort Wayne, the toy distribution will be in partnership with the Mad Ants, the Pacers’ NBA D League franchise.

Pacers mascot Boomer, Fever mascot Freddy Fever, the Pacers’ FanVan, the Pacemates and Pacers executives will accompany each visit.

In Indianapolis, the Pacers and Fever are again partnering with the Indiana National Guard in the distribution of toys to local agencies.

The toy giveaway will culminate on Monday, Dec. 19, when the Pacers play host to Washington at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where Berman, Simon, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and members of both teams will join in the final toy distribution during pre-game and in-game festivities.

“From this simple friendship between two very generous individuals, thousands and thousands of our children in Central Indiana have had smiles on their faces during the past seven years,” said Pacers Sports & Entertainment President and COO Rick Fuson. “Now this year, children in an additional six Indiana communities will be the beneficiaries of Stephen’s generosity and genuine act of continuing kindness.”

JAKKS Pacific, a leading U.S. toy and consumer products manufacturer based in Santa Monica, California, designs, develops, and markets consumer products for children and pets.

The holiday toy giveaway is part of the Pacers Cares and the Pacers’ “Season of Giving”, which included other holiday events such as: Pacers “Come To Our House” Thanksgiving Meal presented by Rodney Stuckey and US Foods; “Shop With The Pacers” presented by Simon Malls; volunteers packing over 100,000 meals for Gleaners Food Bank courtesy of the RoomPlace; and blanket-making at Bankers Life Fieldhouse for the American Red Cross.
