CHR, USAHomeRaffle.com Join Forces to Help Homeowners, Charities

BALTIMORE--(Business Wire)--
Two of the country`s top home raffle companies - Charity Home Raffle (CHR) and
USAHomeRaffle.com both of which are based in Maryland - are joining forces to
help homeowners trapped in the current housing market and charitable
organizations struggling to provide existing services.

Under the new joint marketing agreement, the two companies will be positioned to
offer end-to-end assisted solutions for homeowners and charitable organizations.
The first result of this agreement is a raffle for A Positive Force Raffle
(www.apfraffle.com), which is managed by Charity Home Raffle with Internet
Marketing assistance from USA Home Raffle.

CHR conducts raffles for high-end homes that the owners want to sell. Proceeds
from each CHR raffle are used to deliver the appraised value of the home to the
owner, while generating substantial revenue for a designated charity.

USAHomeRaffle.com pairs homeowners with non-profit organizations and manages an
extensive national database of charities and homeowners interested in raffling
their homes. Once a homeowner and charity have been paired and approved to
conduct a raffle, USAHomeRaffle.com then provides web development, online ticket
management and Internet marketing services.

"With home sales and charitable contributions both continuing to lag in the face
of a slow economic recovery, this agreement will enable CHR and
USAHomeRaffle.com to extend their services to additional users nationwide, while
allowing each company to focus on its core strengths," explains CHR Chief
Executive Officer Kevin Ellis.

Under the new agreement, CHR will focus on assisting charity and homeowner pairs
in completing regulatory hurdles, and defining the rules, strategy, and prizes
for each raffle. CHR also will provide accounting certification of raffle
tickets and awarded prizes, handle marketing and traditional advertising, and
operate 24/7 ticket order phone and fax lines.

USAHomeRaffle.com will maintain the listing of all nationwide current home
raffles on its website. They will also continue to pair homeowners with
non-profits. The matches that are made via USAHomeRaffle.com can be referred to
Charity Home Raffle for their raffle management services. USAHomeRaffle.com will
provide the web development/online ticket processing and the Internet marketing
services.

"This is a win-win for both of our companies, as well as for the homeowners and
charities with whom we work," says Ellis.

Charity Home Raffle recently received a significant investment from Deal Metrics
Private Equity Group, enabling CHR to expand its operations nationally and
underwrite advertising and other costs associated with management and promotion.

The concept of raffling a home for charity has proven effective and often
attempted. Past experience, however, shows that such raffles are successful only
when properly managed and promoted.
