CHÂTEAU ÉLAN PARTNERS WITH YMCA IN SPONSORING 2ND ANNUAL ADOPT-A CAMPER GOLF TOURNAMENT

BRASELTON, GA October, 2007—Château Élan will again partner with YMCA Camp High Harbour in a fund raising effort to send kids with financial needs, ages 7-17, to camp in 2008.

For the 3rd consecutive year, Château Elan will sponsor the “YMCA Adopt-A-Camper” golf tournament and donate its 7,030, par 71, championship Chateau Elan golf course on Wednesday, April 23, 2008. A maximum of 144 players at $625 will be sought. Currently participants in last years tournament including some of Greater Atlanta’s most prestigious law firms, businesses and business leaders, have already committed foursomes to this years event.

In a joint announcement, Henk Evers, President & CEO of Château Élan and Ken O’Kelley, Executive Director of YMCA Camp High Harbour stated “We are committed toward raising $125,000 to send 175 kids (an increase over last years goal of 155 kids) with financial needs to camp for a week. The camps offer an experience that changes lives and creates memories that last a lifetime. We are targeting youth in Atlanta as well as the rapidly growing communities of Gwinnett, Hall, and Barrow counties which the 3,500 acre Château Élan encompasses and is its leading leisure and corporate travel destination business enterprise.”

Corporate organizations and individual golf enthusiasts interested in supporting the “YMCA Adopt-A-Camper” golf tournament can reserve their space as four ball partners at $2,500 per team or $625 for individual players by registering online at www.adoptacamper.com . Each player’s tournament fee covers the total cost of sending one deserving youth to summer camp. An additional venue for fundraising at this years tournament will be a silent auction held in the Golf Pavilion following the tournament. The auction will offer highly valued sports memorabilia as well as vacation trips to popular destinations.

Each summer, YMCA Camp High Harbour serves over 5500 campers. For many of these campers, this experience at camp happens only through the generosity of others.
