Press Conference Announcing the 2008 Farmers Insurance Group(R) Angel City Classic Rescheduled From July 24 to August 5, 2008

Farmers Insurance Group Angel City Classic will hold a press conference at 10:00 A.M. PDT Tuesday, August 5, 2008, to address the dismal dropout rates for California's minority high school students. They will also announce the upcoming schedule of events for the September 27, 2008 football game between Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, TX.

WHO:     Black Educational Events, LLC (B.E.E.) and title sponsor Farmers
         Insurance Group (Farmers), celebrities, grassroots community
         leaders, elected officials.

WHAT:    Announcement of the 3rd Annual Angel City Classic to promote
         higher education and bring awareness of the cultural and
         educational opportunities offered at Historically Black Colleges
         and Universities (HBCUs), particularly among youth on the west
         coast.

WHERE:   Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 3911 South Figueroa Street,
         Los Angeles, CA 90037

WHY:     In the Los Angeles Unified School District alone, there is a 45%
         graduation rate among African Americans and Latinos. As one way to
         motivate students to stay in school and consider a college
         education, Black Educational Events and Farmers seek to garner
         community and business support for the Classic, while encouraging
         others to get involved in this current crisis in education
         disproportionately impacting young people of color.

VISUAL:  Press Conference is to take place outside directly in front of the
         Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum -- home of the 1984 Summer Olympics,
         complete with Olympic flame in the background.
