People often ask about the significance of the "5" in Fab-5's name.

For Chris Jordan this questinon used to chafe - but lately, he's come to appreciate the significance of the answer.

Fab-5 is a group working to empower local youth through the exploration of art and hip-hop culture. They offer classes and mentorship in dance and breakdancing; grafitti, murals and other forms of public art; DJing and lyricism - four of the five key elements that make up what Fab-5 does.

"But what is that last piece?" Jordan asked Tuesday evening, of an intimate group of friends and family assembled for a celebration of Fab-5's first physical space.

"The space left is crucial to continuing on. That's a space that we leave for you. That's a space that we leave for possibilities."

Fab-5 began in 2000, creating by a team of volunteers dedicated to serving local youth, creating safe spaces for them to "gather, collaborate, learn and share ideas."

The gym at Gray Middle School was filled with the sounds of a sports team scrimmage on a recent Saturday - yells from the players, thuds from the basketball making its way down the court, and even the occasional collision. The only difference between this and any other athletic team's practice is that each of the players was in a wheelchair. 

That, and the fact that these guys are good. Really good. So good that they haven't lost a game since November. So good that they've beaten all the other competitive wheelchair basketball teams in the Pacific Northwest. So good that they're heading to the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) National Championships March 22-25. 

The Tacoma Titans are, if you'll pardon the pun, on a roll.

Yes, Tacoma's own wheelchair basketball team is headed to the national championships next month - and they're asking for the community's help to get them there.

The Puyallup High School choir is helping a local band in their efforts to raise money for a little girl recovering from cancer.

Tomorrow, a song called “10,000 Hearts,” which has already helped raise $12,000 for Iley Puloka’s hospital bills will be rereleased on iTunes, featuring the local rock group Mad Silence and the high school choir.

Mad Silence has been working with four-year-old Iley for nearly a year, writing the song for her to help raise money for hospital bills that have compiled since she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in November 2010. While Iley is now in maintenance stage of her recovery, the band continues to raise money for her and others, through their nonprofit, One Minute for One Life.
