LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2004

May 15, 2004 Corporate Volleyball Challenge Kicks Off New, Unique

Group Designed to Combine Funding Needs of School Youth Groups

with Student Commitment to Volunteerism

Touch Your World, Inc.(TM) is the name of a new non-profit organization based in Seminole County, Florida. Touch Your World, founded by David Melnik, president and chief executive officer of Lake Mary, Florida-based Kinetics, Inc., will develop a unique niche in the world of non-profit groups: to help fund public school service programs and sports teams that require additional funding - exchange for participation in local community service initiatives by the students who benefit from this new funding resource.

Touch Your World is a brand new agency organized as a non-lobbying, non-profit organization under the guidelines of Section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code. Touch Your World will fill two different, but complementary, ongoing needs in our local community. Touch Your World will work with local corporations and individuals to provide a new base of funding for school-based programs for youth that otherwise might go unfunded. In exchange for that new funding, the youth who benefit from the funding will be asked to perform a pre-determined number of hours of uncompensated community services for local charities that are in need of volunteers to assist with various projects.

"Touch Your World was founded upon the principle that local businesses should be involved in the advancement of their communities by investing in youth-based initiatives," Melnik said. "It's my hope that through Touch Your World, we can spark the passion in other companies throughout Seminole County and Central Florida to partner with public schools to spark so much of the untapped energy and creativity of today's school-aged youth to give their time to benefit community groups that need their time and talent. If we're successful, Touch Your World will create an unprecedented cooperative relationship between all these vital community organizations."

May 15th: First Annual Corporate Volleyball Challenge Kickoff

As an official kickoff for the organization, Touch Your World will host the First Annual TYW Corporate Volleyball Challenge, the first of its kind in Seminole County, on Saturday, May 15, at Oval Park on International Parkway in the Lake Mary/Heathrow area of Seminole County.

The event has already drawn substantial sponsorship interest by Orlando's hometown low-fare carrier AirTran Airways; Wachovia Corporation, the fourth largest banking organization in the United States based on assets; and Colonial Properties Trust.

The TYW Corporate Volleyball Challenge will be modeled after the popular March of Dimes(R) Volleyball Tournament(TM) held each year in south Orange County, Florida - only without the mud! The Touch Your World event involves competition between six-player, co-ed grass games, with morning "pool play" that progresses into single-elimination playoffs in the afternoon. Music, food and drinks will highlight the day, in addition to a children's play area.

Although the day will be focused on fun and recreation, teams are encouraged to be creative with team names and uniforms. "This should be an exceptional community event and a fun day of corporate team building, all combined into one event," said Steve Bishop, the executive director of Touch Your World. "We'll have licensed massage therapists and trainers lined up to make sure every participant experiences a fun - and safe - day. More importantly, companies will be able to meet each other and compete for bragging rights, all the while giving something back to their community."
