ADVISORY/Chicago's Own First Family of Comedy Chips in to Help Out Chicagoland; Murray Brothers' Announce First Annual Charity Benefit.


Entertainment Editors/News Editors

ADVISORY...for Thursday Thursday: see week.  (June June: see month.  26)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)


    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:

    --  Comedy benefit featuring performances by stand-up comics and
        current and former "Saturday Night Live" stars at DePaul's
        Merle Reskin Theater.

    --  Three day celebrity golf tournament at St. Andrews Golf Club
        carrying the theme: "Bad Golf. Good Cause."

    --  Party, celebrity show and auction at the Chicago Marriott.

    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.

    WHEN:      June 26, 2003
               11:30 a.m. - 1:00p.m.
