PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Nov. 9, 2004 – The PGA Tour announced Monday that actress Sharon Stone will narrate and host One From the Heart, a one-hour special presented by the PGA Tour and Crestor, that airs nationally on ABC, Dec. 18 from 3-4 p.m. ET. The show will chronicle the enormous impact PGA Tour events have made on millions of people and hundreds of communities across the country.

Since the first donation of $10,000 was made by the Palm Beach Invitational back in 1938, giving to charity has become a cornerstone of the Tour’s philosophy. Each year, the PGA Tour operates more than 100 tournaments, with proceeds going directly to over 2,000 different local charities. As the 2004 season draws to a close, the Tour is approaching $900 million in all-time charitable donations generated through tournaments on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour.

"As we track toward $1 billion in charitable donations, the real story is in the thousands of charities and countless individuals who benefit from these contributions every year," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. "It’s important to recognize the incredible impact the tournaments on all three of our Tours continue to have on their respective communities."

Produced by PGA Tour Productions, the program will include special moments from the 2004 PGA Tour season and highlight the following charities, which are supported by the accompanying Tour event:

1) Teach for America – Wachovia Championship (Charlotte, N.C.) Teach for America is a program in which recent college graduates dedicate two years of their lives to teaching students in either rural or urban settings.

2) Special Olympics –Chrysler Classic of Tucson (Tucson, Ariz.) In 2000, the Southern Arizona chapter of Special Olympics ran out of money and would cease to exist if not for donations from the Chrysler Classic of Tucson. This is the story of one amazing young athlete battling Down Syndrome, who, because the chapter stayed open, went on to become a world champion weightlifter.

3) Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research – BellSouth Classic (Duluth, Ga.) Zach Johnson, winner of the Crestor Charity Challenge at the BellSouth Classic, donated his $50,000 to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which aids Parkinson’s Disease research. Johnson’s grandfather, Bill, suffers from the disease.

4) Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center – Barclays Classic (Harrison, N.Y.) - This is the story of how one family turned tragedy into triumph. When 13-year-old Maria Fareri died from a rabies bite, her parents decided to honor her memory by building a state-of-the-art children's hospital next to the poorly equipped hospital where Maria spent her final days.

5) Camp Smile-a-Mile – Bruno’s Memorial Classic (Hoover, Ala.) The Bruno’s Memorial Classic on the Champions Tour helps support Camp Smile-a-Mile, a non-profit organization for children in Alabama who have or have had cancer. They provide year-round programs, including overnight camps, for patients at no cost to their families.

One From the Heart also will profile the Crestor Charity Challenge, a weekly competition that debuted in 2004 and recognizes the tournament leader entering the final round at PGA Tour events throughout the year. Through the program, AstraZeneca and its cholesterol medication Crestor donate approximately $3 million a year to health care and PGA Tour charities.
