AT&T / EukonGroup 9th Annual Boy Scout Golf Classic

SANTA ANA, Calif., May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. and EukonGroup announced today the kickoff of the Ninth Annual AT&T/EukonGroup Golf Classic to benefit the Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America. More than 320 golfers were on hand, playing on both the Jack Nicklaus and TCP Stadium Courses at the famous PGA West in La Quinta, Calif., in hopes of making this year's event the biggest ever -- with a projected gross income of more than $500,000.

"The dollars raised in this tournament help the Orange County Council continue to provide opportunities for local youth, including disadvantaged children, to participate in the Scoutreach and Learning for Life programs," said Les Baron, scout executive, The Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America. "Without AT&T's help and the fundraising efforts of this annual golf tournament and silent auction, these programs would be unable to sustain themselves, leaving more than 32,000 youth without the character-building and leadership opportunities that the Orange County Council provides."

Since its inception in 1999, this tournament has raised more than $2.3 million in net proceeds. All proceeds benefit the Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America. With six facilities and more than 64,000 youth involved in the scouting program, the Orange County Council is one of the largest in the country.

"We continually strive to find ways to positively impact our local communities," said Andy Shibley, vice president and general manager of AT&T's Greater Los Angeles wireless market. "All of the proceeds from this event directly help Orange County youth, so AT&T is proud to have the opportunity to again sponsor this tournament."

This year's tournament committee comprises executives from AT&T, formerly Cingular. The committee is chaired by Shibley and Joel Hobson, AT&T area retail sales manager of the Greater Los Angeles wireless market.

Irvine-based EukonGroup teamed up with AT&T to co-sponsor this year's tournament. EukonGroup is a multidisciplinary consulting firm with roots in the wireless telecommunications, environmental compliance, management, training and development fields.

9th Annual EukonGroup/AT&T Golf Classic

La Quinta, California -- PGA West is the location of the 9th Annual AT&T/EukonGroup Boy Scouts of America Golf Classic on May 7, 2007. Benefitting the Boy Scouts of American Orange County Council, this sold out event will bring in nearly $500 thousand in proceeds this year, according to Anais Chavez, who is coordinating the event for the Boy Scouts.

"This is the first year that AT&T has shared the sponsorship of this event, and with EukonGroup's generous contribution, we will exceed our previous years' proceeds," according to Ms. Chavez.

"This annual event has truly been a classic in every sense of the word," according to Jeff Jacobs, founder of EukonGroup and co-sponsor of the event. "The golf classic has sold out every year since the early days when Pacific Bell Wireless initiated this event to benefit Boy Scouts of America. The evolution of PBW through Cingular and now the Net at&t, this event has brought wide ranging support from vendors and employees alike" according to Jacobs. "We are honored to be able to provide support for this very worthy cause, and this event which is so much a part of the culture in the Los Angeles Market."

Prior to founding EukonGroup, Mr. Jacobs served as Construction Manager for the Los Angeles Market, one of the largest cellular markets in the Nation.
