TORRANCE, CA--(Marketwire - October 11, 2007) - A fundraising event to benefit The Wheelchair Foundation
will take place October 26, 2007 at the Trump National Grand Ballroom in
Rancho Palos Verdes. Co-hosted by The Wheelchair Foundation's Chris Lewis

such cause-based organizations as National Multiple Sclerosis Society, City
of Hope, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation and St. Jude Children's
