Cancer Fight

LIFE Event raises $500,000 for breast cancer bringing total raised by LIFE to
$5.6 million

PARAMUS, N.J., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty-eight LPGA pros including World
Golf Hall of Fame members Beth Daniel and Karrie Webb, top ranked players
Angela Stanford, Morgan Pressel, Brittany Lincicome, Helen Alfredsson, Laura
Davies and LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens, came together for the 10th
anniversary LIFE (LPGA Pros in the Fight to Eradicate Breast Cancer) Event
hosted by LPGA veteran Val Skinner on May 18. The event, noted as the biggest
single-day golf event fundraiser for breast cancer initiatives, raised another
$500,000 for breast cancer programs. LIFE has raised more than $5.6 million
for the breast cancer fight since its inception in 2000.

"Today is an emotional day," said Val Skinner, event founder. "While I am
extremely proud of what LIFE has accomplished in the past decade, I know that
we still have much work ahead in the fight to eradicate breast cancer."

Held at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J., the LIFE Event benefits
Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R), the LPGA's official national charity and
largest private backer of breast cancer research and education, and the Cancer
Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), a National Cancer Institute-designated
comprehensive cancer center.

Each year, the event honors LIFE Heroes, individuals who have demonstrated
courage in the face of breast cancer and/or purpose in the fight against the
disease. Twenty-five year old breast cancer survivor Bridget Mooney and Susan
G. Komen for the Cure(R) celebrity ambassador Gabrielle Union were recognized
as the 2009 LIFE Heroes at a reception following the pro-am.

Skinner also recognized five women of distinction who have played an integral
role in the success of the LIFE Event for the last 10 years. The reception was
hosted by Court TV anchor and host of the PBS series, Inside the Law, Jack
Ford.

LIFE Event partners include: The Joe Plumeri Family, EmblemHealth, Guy
Carpenter, QualCare and Roche. Other notable supporters are: Assured Guaranty,
Marsh, Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc., ACE Group, GUND, Inc. and Lincoln
Mercury.

Skinner founded LIFE after the loss of her friend and fellow LPGA golfer,
Heather Farr, who died of breast cancer in 1993 at the age of 28. For more
