12/12/05 7:13 PM

NORTON, MASS. (Nov. 21, 2005) � The Deutsche Bank Championship successfully reached its goal and raised a record $1.6 million for the Tiger Woods Foundation and several New England charities.  The Championship has raised a total of $4.5 million over three years.  The primary beneficiary of the Deutsche Bank Championship is the Tiger Woods Learning Center, with Agassiz Village, Boston Cares, Boston Ballet City Dance, Healthworks Foundation, Bottom Line, Artists for Humanity, G-Row Boston (Girls Row), St. Mary�s Women and Children�s Center and Young Entrepreneurs Alliance (YEA) headlining the local charitable efforts.

"The Deutsche Bank Championship focuses on raising money for charities, and its passion for helping the community makes this event very special," Tiger Woods said. "Together, with my Foundation and the efforts of so many contributors to this event, we are making a real difference in the lives of millions of children nationwide."

The selection process for the nine local charities was in concert with the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, the Tiger Woods Foundation and the Championship in keeping with the Tiger Woods Foundation�s mission of promoting the health, education and welfare of America�s children. In addition, all of the beneficiaries fulfill the mission of the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, which is to make a significant difference for those in need.

Five of the charities: Agassiz Village, Boston Cares, Boston Ballet City Dance, the Healthworks Foundation and Bottom Line, have been beneficiaries all three years. Artists for Humanity, G-Row Boston (Girls Row), St. Mary�s Women and Children�s Center and the Young Entrepreneurs Alliance are first-year beneficiaries.

�The Championship is proud to contribute to such admirable recipients as the Tiger Woods Learning Center and this years nine New England beneficiaries,� said Deutsche Bank Championship Director Eric Baldwin.  �It�s very important for us to make an impact on our community and I think that each of these organizations do a wonderful job of supporting community-based programs that align with our overall mission in their own unique way.�

In addition to the nine charities that headline the local efforts, the Deutsche Bank Championship also contributes to many other organizations throughout the year in other capacities, through events, live and silent auctions, youth clinics and educational programs. One of those programs was a silent auction held in conjunction with the PGA TOUR Wives Association that generated significant funding for several other local charities. The Deutsche Bank Championship also takes pride in contributing to communities it directly impacts, including the towns of Norton and Mansfield.

"Deutsche Bank and all of our partners in this great event share the devotion it takes to accomplish these goals," said Seth Waugh, CEO, Deutsche Bank Americas. "We take a great deal of pride in focusing on programs that help America's children, so it is very gratifying to contribute to the important work done by the Tiger Woods Foundation and these other worthy charities."

The PGA TOUR announced recently that it has reached the $1 billion milestone in charitable contributions.  During the 2005 season, the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour and their tournaments, including the Deutsche Bank Championship participated in Drive to a Billion, a year-long campaign focused on reaching the milestone and celebrating the spirit of giving and teamwork in 100 communities across the country. Since the TOUR�s first recorded donation of $10,000 in 1938, more than 2,000 charities and one million lives have been helped annually.
