Austin, TEXAS --  The Kinko's Classic of Austin, a PGA Champions Tour today announced an agreement that makes Children's Hospital of Austin the second major beneficiary of the tournament scheduled for the week of May 5-11, 2003 at the Hills Country Club in Lakeway.

Children's Hospital of Austin serves as the regional pediatric referral center for the 46-county Central Texas region and is a member of the SETON Healthcare Network, a not-for-profit community provider. In keeping with the mission to care for and improve the health of those served, Children?s patients receive the highest level of medical care regardless of the families' ability to pay. Children's Hospital's commitment is focused on treating the specialized needs of children in an environment that is designed specifically for them. Their dedicated team of doctors, nurses, technicians and therapists are trained and experienced in the care of children, and have devoted their careers not just to medicine, but to the sick and injured children they serve.

"We are pleased to be a major beneficiary of The Kinko's Classic this year, said Missy Wood, Executive Director of Children's Hospital Foundation of Austin. "This is a great opportunity to be involved with such a prestigious event as it will create an awareness of the wonderful care we provide the sick and injured children of Central Texas. The funds raised will help us to continue to provide our young patients with the best pediatric medical care available."

"We are thrilled to have this fine organization join The Greater Austin Youth Foundation and its efforts to host what will become the best tournament on The Champions Tour. Selecting The Children's Hospital of Austin and The First Tee of Greater Austin as our primary charities of choice will guarantee that children from all over the central Texas region will have one more source of funds for healthcare services and life skills building endeavors. We are hopeful that The Kinko's Classic will bring more awareness, volunteers and financial support to these great organizations. Our Spring focus now turns to recruiting other organizations in the area that can help us with tournament week activities, creating yet another way to financially help charities in the area." Said, Kenny Hill, Chairman of The Greater Austin Youth Foundation.

About the Kinko's Classic of Austin
The Kinko's Classic of Austin will mark the Champions Tour's return to Austin since the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf moved after the 1994 season. Considered the catalyst for the creation of the Champions Tour (formerly known as the SENIOR TOUR), the Legends originated in Austin in 1978. Austin maintains a strong connection to the Champions Tour as the hometown of Ben Crenshaw, Terry Dill, Tom Jenkins, Tom Kite and Steve Veriato.

The Kinko's Classic of Austin will be a 54-hole individual stroke-play event with a purse of $1.6 million. The tournament will be played on The Hills, Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, which opened in 1981.

About the First Tee of Greater Austin
As earlier announced, The First Tee of Greater Austin has been selected as the other primary beneficiary. An affiliate of the World Golf Foundation's national First Tee initiative, TFTGA, is a non-profit organization that uses a unique teaching program designed specifically to extract the inherent values in the game of golf and teach them to participants in the program. It is their goal that participants not only learn the life-long game of golf, but that they also acquire personal assets such as resiliency, self-worth and a sense of integrity and responsibility which will help them develop and maintain long-term physical, mental and social health.

The First Tee Life Skills Program is one of the unique features that sets The First Tee apart from many other youth focused skills development programs. Through one-on-one relationships with mentors, and a curriculum designed exclusively for The First Tee, participants build valuable life skills including: interpersonal communication, goal setting, self-management and other assets that help them increase their resistance to negative influences while also teaching them personal responsibility. TFTGA serves Austin through its East Austin after- school programs, weekend and summer clinics, and tournaments. TFTGA is currently building a golf focused sports complex and learning center designed specifically to facilitate the delivery of their Life Skills program. It is expected to open around June of 2003. The facilities and programs are managed by highly trained LPGA and PGA Teaching Professionals who partner with enthusiastic and caring adult mentors to teach the game of golf and the inherent values found in the game. These skills can provide youth with the ability to deal with challenges as tough as economic hardship, fractured families or a lack of role models.
