WHAT:    Gala Celebration to benefit Cure Autism Now is the
         culmination of a major 3-month fundraising promotion by
         agents and friends of Coldwell Banker Southern California.
         The combined efforts of Coldwell Banker are expected to raise
         more than $400,000 to go toward finding a cure for autism, a
         devastating neurological disorder that affects one in 500
         children.

         This year's program, "Stardust and Dreams," will be
         co-chaired by "ER" star Anthony Edwards and actress Rene
         Russo. Other celebrities expected to attend include: Gil
         Bellows, former cast member of "Ally McBeal"; Bradley
         Whitford of "West Wing"; Jane Krakowski of "Ally McBeal";
         Richard T. Jones, "Judging Amy"; Lisa Rinna, TV and movie
         personality; Carla Gugino of "Chicago Hope" and "Snake Eyes"
         with Nicolas Cage; and major English recording star and
         songwriter Richard Thompson.

         Recently, Cure Autism Now and its founder Jonathan Shestack,
         producer of "Air Force One" starring Harrison Ford and
         production executive of "End of Days" with Arnold
         Schwarzenegger, "13 Days" with Kevin Costner, "Bring it On"
         with Kirsten Dunst and "Family Man" with Nicolas Cage, helped
         pass legislation in Congress -- the Omnibus Child Health bill
         -- which dedicates $200 million for autism research over a
         five-year period.

         The evening includes a live auction for items like an "ER"
         set tour, a trip to the Indy 500 in 2001 to see the Cure
         Autism Car compete, a bracelet specially designed by Rene
         Russo and a trip to Hawaii.
