Press Release Body = A benefit for the Second Chance Foundation featuring a
screening of "Some Like It Hot" will take place on September 14th. 2006. The event,
starting at 7:00PM with a reception will be held at The Palms Casino Hotel and the
Brendon Theaters Hotel located at 4321 W. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas.

The Second Chance Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2004 with
the mission to educate the public on the critical need of organ and tissue donation,
dispel some misconceptions about donation and create a greater willingness to
donate.

Tony Curtis, star of "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, has
donated several pieces of art towards the silent auction conducted during the
benefit. The donated pieces are montages of Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe and Jack
Lemmon from the movie "Some Like It Hot". .

"Art has given me a second chance to express myself. I sincerely hope that funds
received from my art will give somebody else the far more significant second chance
of a better quality of life, "states Curtis.

After the screening of "Some Like It Hot" Tony Curtis will participate in a question
and answer session with Dean Koep, and the movie\'s producer, Walter Mirisch.

Bob Mirisch, Executive Director of Second Chance Foundation states "We offer limited
grants through our Patient Services Program to patients who find themselves in
financial need in relation to organ donation. We exist to help patients who are in
need of an organ transplant, on a transplant waiting list or are post-transplant."

"Through the multiple miracles of medicine and science, we enter the 21st century
with the ability to place another person\'s heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, pancreas
and small intestines into a loved one or stranger\'s body and by doing so save the
life of the organ recipient."

"It would have been considered science fiction six decades ago. Now people think of
it as \"routine\". To me it will never be routine. It is the culmination of many
miracles being rolled into one miracle that gives suffering patients a Second Chance
at life," continues Mirisch.

"It is the reason for the name of the Second Chance Foundation and it is the mission
of this foundation to make the \"Gift of Life\" more available and to make the healing
process easier by easing some of the stress (physical, emotional, educational and
financial) that those waiting for an organ experience."
"The Jewish Torah tells us \"To save a single life is to save the world.\" Can we do
any better than that?" concludes Mirisch.
