House Three Thirty will be a place for people to visit who are coming to town for special events, she said. It’s also for Akronites who used to frequent the Tangier, which for decades hosted live shows, banquets and special events. The entrance to House Three Thirty will be something to see when it’s ablaze with neon signs representing every business that partners with the foundation, Campbell said. On Wednesday, known as 330 Day in Akron, the foundation opened the doors of House Three Thirty for the first time, allowing the community to take a look inside the former Tangier Restaurant & Cabaret.

The more revenue that comes in, the more support services the foundation can bring to Akron, she said. Reedy, with the LeBron James Family Foundation, led a tour of the building showing plenty of new amenities and artwork featuring James. They included a commercial kitchen that will serve as a learning space and a resource room for employees to get toiletries and other essentials to help them come to work ready.

Campbell said the House Three Thirty is still a work in progress − even though most of the renovations of much of the public space is complete. Speaker Mike Johnson's position on Ukraine aid evolved from also requiring changes to border and immigration policy to working with Democrats to pass the latest bills. "They are now being out shot by the Russian side five to one. So Russians fire five times as many artillery shells at the Ukrainians then the Ukrainians are able to fire back," U.S. European Command's Gen. Christopher Cavoli told the House Armed Services Committee. "That will immediately go to 10 to one in a matter of weeks. We're not talking about months."

Many of the new stores and facilities are named after corporate sponsors, like Smucker’s, Old El Paso and PepsiCo. Fellow employee Sundae Davenport, a mother of a former I Promise student who now attends Kent State University, noted I Promise families get a lot of support outside of the school building. For example, they were the first to hear about the new jobs at House Three Thirty. For business meetings and special events, the private club The Den by MainStreet Advisors and Lobos 1707 will be available.

House Three Thirty is designed for job training, family financial health programs, tourism, and a safe place to learn. "I'm really proud of this venture, especially because it opens the doors to so many opportunities for our community — job training, employment, [Chase] bank being here and helping our community with their banking needs," she said. "Then a huge ball area where lifelong memories can be made like weddings and receptions and birthday parties, bar mitzvahs and all that goes with that." By June, the hope is to open LeBron James’ Home Court — a museum taking fans through his life and career — along with the full-time opening of the retail shop and a sweets shop selling local ice cream and candy.

They are often invited to Akron, so with the opening of House Three Thirty, they’ll be able to see I Promise philosophies in action. Campbell pointed out a secret pizza room that will be used as part of workforce training. Along the way, Reedy and Campbell said, more employees will be brought on and trained to operate the various facilities.

"It's not every day you can say you made the world truly a better place but I think the Senate can say that tonight and I am very proud of what has happened," Schumer said. The package provides roughly $26 billion for Israel, currently at war with Hamas in Gaza; as well as $61 billion for Ukraine and $8 billion for allies in the Indo-Pacific. A fourth bill would force a U.S. ban of TikTok if its Chinese parent company doesn't sell it; impose sanctions on Russia, China and Iran; and seize Russian assets to help Ukraine rebuild from the war's damage. Highland Square resident Barbara Kemper and friend Cheryl Renick took in the new space from its sitting area near Starbucks. McGee shares that pride and hopes that the new facility, coupled with the nearby I Promise School, I Promise Village and soon to be HealthQuarters, will have a substantial impact on the Akron community.

The large bar will have windows and a loft, and plenty of TVs for people to gather with friends to watch sporting events. House Three Thirty is the latest community effort by James' foundation which started with the I PROMISE school in 2018, a partnership with Akron Public Schools. The school offers resources, access to opportunities, skill development, and wraparound services for more than 1,300 students. All proceeds from ticket sales support House Three Thirty’s job training model, which employs I PROMISE students, parents, educators and family members in the community. "We designed House Three Thirty to create opportunities and open doors to show them that anything is possible, and that they can do it right here in Akron," he said. "We believe House Three Thirty will be a staple for our city, and we can't wait for people to come and experience it."

House Three Thirty also will be home to a yet-to-be named community-model coffee shop. And work was recently completed on The Taco Shop by Old El Paso that hosted a Taco Tuesday event for I Promise kids and their families. And this March 30 will offer the first chance for Akronites to venture inside the former Tangier since the LeBron James Family Foundation has taken over the iconic entertainment complex.

Part of the foundation's goal with House Three Thirty is to offer retail and restaurants for the public to visit while offering job training and employment opportunities for partner families. Part of the layered approach with the job training, she said, is to take things slow and every employee learns all aspects of the operationm from cleaning to working in the retail shop to food prep in the kitchen to making drinks in the Starbucks. The foundation’s longest running partner, JP Morgan Chase, will also be open on Thursday offering financial planning assistance for I Promise families and community members, the foundation said. The center — with an open house tomorrow on Akron’s annual 330 day (the day the calendar coincides with the area code) — aims to provide job training to Akron families, along with creating an economic engine that will benefit the foundation and the city. Dick’s Sporting Goods will helped the foundation turn the top of the Tangier parking garage into a youth sports complex; preliminary plans call for three basketball courts, a soccer field, and other recreation space. In the former Tangier fountain room will be the only LeBron James-themed sports bar in the world, Campbell said.

Jennifer and Jim Cauffield are regulars at the center, and on Saturday, brought their daughter and grandson to the festivities. Jennifer said she enjoys bringing friends to House Three Thirty for a slice of pizza or ice cream, and to enjoy performances. The multimedia storytelling experience is based on James’ life, and will feature never-before-seen items, the foundation said. The training facility is designed to blend the supportive “We Are Family” energy that forms the basis of the LJFF I Promise philosophy with real-world opportunities that can change lives, the foundation said. AKRON, Ohio — The LeBron James Family Foundation’s House Three Thirty opened to the public Thursday, March 30, Akron’s 330 Day, offering the community an opportunity to see and experience a unique workforce development facility. The multi-use community space offers several amenities for local residents, fans and I PROMISE families.
