Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Mark and Christopher Leggio, the brothers who own and operate the Mark Christopher Auto Center, signed a 3-year extension to continue as Title Sponsor of the Nationwide Tour event hosted at Empire Lakes Golf Club in Rancho Cucamonga.

"As I have publicly indicated before, the Leggio family and the Mark Christopher Auto Center is the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval in the Inland Empire," Tournament Director Stephen Wagner said. "We cannot be more pleased with their renewal."  "Their involvement will enable the Tournament to increase charitible giving in each of the coming years." Already that has manifested itself with the 2004's charitable and organizational contributions, which totaled $214,830, the largest amount in event history and a 25% increase from 2003.

"We are pleased to be associated with one of the top events on the Nationwide Tour," Mark Leggio said. "The first class presentation and the charitable contributions were our main two reasons for renewing."

In 2004, the Mark Christopher Auto Center was the No. Hummer dealer in the Nation and the No. 4 Chevrolet dealer in California as ranked by sales.  The Center has won the Jack Smith Leadership Award for 4 straight years, emblematic of superior parts and services performance among Chevrolet dealers.
