``A New Day...'', Featuring Celine Dion, Celebrated 500th Performance with a Charity Benefit Raising More Than One Million Dollars.

LAS VEGAS -- On Sunday, May 7, 2006, Celine Dion and cast celebrated the 500th performance of "A New Day...", created by DRAGONE and presented by Chrysler at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Celine Dion and her partners Dragone and AEG Live marked this special milestone by donating show proceeds totaling $1,027,450 to The Celine Dion Foundation to benefit ten Las Vegas charities.

"We do a special show every night, we go on every night, but tonight is more than going on stage, it's more than doing a show. It's about making a difference," said Celine Dion.

Other special events of the evening included the unveiling of Celine's Grevin waxworks figure in The Colosseum lobby and a performance of a new song in the show, "All the Way," a duet and tribute to Frank Sinatra that includes a larger-than-life appearance by Ol' Blue Eyes himself on the LED stage backdrop. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman hosted the evening.

The ten organizations that were selected by a committee of business and community leaders using a variety of criteria as beneficiaries included:

--Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) - The oldest and largest AIDS service organization in the state of Nevada. Provides direct client service programs, food programs, prevention and education programs, and community outreach

--The Animal Foundation - Provides a safe, clean and caring refuge for the animals of the community

--Center for Independent Living - Assists homeless youth toward independent living through housing, mentoring, education and job placement

--FIT for an Independent Tomorrow - Empowers motivated unemployed and underemployed Nevadans to obtain the skills necessary for self-sufficient employment

--"I Have A Dream" Foundation - Helps at-risk children from low-income families become productive citizens by providing a long-term program of mentoring, tutoring and enrichment, with the assured opportunity for higher education

--Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth - Provides assistance to eliminate homelessness among Nevada's youth

--New Vista Ranch - Provides a home-like environment for adults with disabilities and enables them to live the most independent and self-determined life possible

All guests at the 500th performance received a commemorative souvenir, and three lucky audience members who were randomly selected in a drawing won special grand prizes that included a Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Limited courtesy of DaimlerChrysler, a two-night VIP stay at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, including dinner with Celine Dion, and two round-trip first class tickets anywhere in the world courtesy of Air Canada.
