The Philadelphia 76ers honored Frank and Karen McKee of Newton Square, Pa., as the “76ers Hometown Heroes” at the Sixers-Trail Blazers game on Monday, Dec. 11, 2006. The “76ers Hometown Hero: In the Spirit of Alex Scott” program recognizes “an everyday hero in the community” and awards two tickets to a Sixers game.

The McKees worked with ‘Homes For Our Troops’ to build a home for Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran Pisey Tan, a double amputee. The McKee’s supervised the construction, and all fundraising for the labor and materials needed to build the $300,000 home in Woodlyn, Pa. Frank and Karen are turning over the keys to Pisey’s new home that he will share with his mother and younger brother during a ceremony on December 14th.
