July 26th Exotic Car Run for 'FUN'ding Histiocytosis
to begin at Jupiter Country Club

Entry deadline: July 15th

JUPITER, Fla. - Jupiter Country Club in northern Palm Beach County will be the starting point for the Exotic Car Run for "Fun"ding Histiocytosis on July 26, 2008.

Drivers of impressive automobiles such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Viper, Porsche, Bugati, Maserati, Rolls Royce, BMW, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Corvette, Fort GT and others will gather at Jupiter Country Club for refreshments from 9 a.m. until noon, then depart together with police escorts at noon en route to the new Maserati of Palm Beach dealership in West Palm Beach. The anticipated arrival time is 1 p.m. and, upon reaching this destination, participants will enjoy a live band, food, raffles and a children's karate performance. In addition, participants will see a two-time championship dragster on-site as well as the most extreme 4x4 by Extreme Performance.

"This will be a great way to see the most exciting cars in the world and speak to their proud owners, while raising funds for the Histiocytosis Association of America (HAA)," said Toll Brothers Senior Project Manager Lawrence Buck.

HAA is the only non-profit organization providing support and education to patients and families dealing with histiocytic disorders. The organization also provides funding for research grants in hopes of finding better treatment options and a cure for this rare blood disease. The vast majority of people diagnosed with Histiocytosis are children under the age of 10 who have too many histiocytes, a form of white blood cells growing in their bodies. Patients are sometimes treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation.

"Toll Brothers, the nation's leading builder of luxury homes and the developer of Jupiter Country Club, is very enthusiastic about supporting this worthwhile cause," Buck said. "Best of all, 100% of all proceeds from the event will be given to HAA."

Jupiter Country Club, a new community of single-family estate homes and luxury townhomes set amid a Greg Norman Signature Golf Course, is located across from the Jupiter Turnpike exit on West Indiantown Road in Jupiter.

The new Maserati of Palm Beach dealership is located at 4000 Okeechobee Boulevard.

The public is invited to enter the charity run for a $50 donation per car. Drivers and passengers must be 18 years or older. All vehicles must be pre-approved. A registration form must be accompanied by a check payable to the Histiocytosis Association of America and submitted by July 15.. To obtain a registration form or for further details, call 561-741-4900.
