WHAT: The Murray brothers return to their home town to announce
the first annual Old Style/Murray Brothers' Invitational presented
by APAC Customer Services. This event will welcome special guests
and sponsors to celebrate Chicago's annual newest tradition--a
weekend long event that will include:

current and former "Saturday Night Live" stars at DePaul's
Merle Reskin Theater.

carrying the theme: "Bad Golf. Good Cause."

When Bill Murray took to the microphone to lead the Wrigley
faithful in a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" holding
an Old Style beer, little did he know that less than two years
later, Chicago's beloved brew would become the title sponsor of
the inaugural Murray Brothers' Invitational. Hosted by the 3
brothers/actors Joel ("Dharma & Greg"), Brian ("King of Queens")
and Bill Murray ("The Royal Tennenbaums"), the event will be held
in Chicagoland, July 18-20, 2003. Deerfield based APAC Customer
Services Inc., is the presenting sponsor, the Renaissance Chicago
is the official hotel and American Airlines is the official
airline.
All net proceeds from the Old Style/Murray Brothers' Invitational
presented by APAC Customer Services will be divided evenly between
the Illinois chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
and Chicago based H.O.M.E., which provides housing assistance to
the elderly. Both charities are highly regarded by the Murray's,
who lost their father in 1967 to diabetes.
