BOSTON (August 20, 2008) – The Boston Celtics and RE/MAX of New England gave the Fignole family of Randolph a home basketball court renovation today as the winners of this year’s first RE/MAX of New England Home Court Program contest. The Fignole family had their new home basketball court dedicated by Celtics guard Eddie House and Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell. House and Maxwell also conducted a free community basketball clinic for 100 local youths at Randolph High School .

The Fignole family was selected as the first winner of the RE/MAX Home Court Program among dozens of candidates who sent in letters detailing why they were in need of a home court makeover. Two additional home court makeovers will be awarded this year, in both New Hampshire and Rhode Island

“It was great to help give this family a brand new home basketball court,” House said. “I’d like to congratulate the Fignole on winning the contest. I really enjoyed shooting around with the family and meeting all the neighborhood kids at the clinic.”

The home court makeover consisted of a driveway and court resealing, a brand new basket stanchion, backboard, electronic scoreboard, ball rack and additional Celtics gear. After finishing the makeover House participated in a game of HORSE with the family and neighborhood kids.

“RE/MAX of New England is proud to provide the Fignole family with a home court makeover,” RE/MAX Director of Marketing Christine Carlo said. “We’re thrilled to partner with the Celtics in providing this unique contest to residents of Massachusetts , New Hampshire and Rhode Island .”
