Business Editors

ADVISORY...for Monday Monday: see week.  (June June: see month.  23)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)



    Golfing Legend Chi Chi Rodriguez Honored With Third Annual Paul
                       Runyan Recognition Award

WHAT:       At the age of 93, world-renowned golf pro Paul
            Runyan passed away last year, but his legacy of hope and
            healing remain. Runyan's legend both on and off the green
            continues to provide charitable support for children with
            osteosarcoma -- bone cancer -- as Orthopaedic Hospital
            hosts its 14th Annual Paul Runyan Memorial Golf Classic.
            On Monday, June 23rd, over 100 local golfers will tee off
            to raise funds for charity care programs at Orthopaedic
            Hospital as they "play for the children." Following a
            cocktail reception, silent auction and dinner, the special
            awards ceremony will feature a video acceptance from
            worldwide golfing champion Chi Chi Rodriguez, this year's
            recipient of the Third Annual Orthopaedic Hospital Paul
            Runyan Recognition Award. Given in memory of Runyan and
            his late wife, Berniece Harbers-Runyan, the award was
            bestowed upon previous recipients Arnold Palmer and Jack
            Nicklaus.

            All proceeds from the Paul Runyan Memorial Golf Classic
            will directly benefit the Orthopaedic Hospital Pediatric
            Musculoskeletal Tumor Program, which is dedicated to
            helping children who suffer from osteosarcoma, one of the
            most virulent forms of cancer. Proceeds will help children
            like 15-year-old Michele Avila, who are afflicted with
            bone tumors, to lead healthier lives. For more than 90
            years, Orthopaedic Hospital has been helping children with
            crippling conditions receive the finest care in the world
            and lead healthy, active lives, regardless of their
            families' ability to pay.
