ever sweepstakes with weekly drawings and monthly grand prize drawings.

Press Release Body: 9/29/08, Bethpage, NY: The Producers of the Jewish Basketball
Hall of Fame and JewishPrideSportsHeroes, announced the launch of the first ever
sweepstakes. The winner will be announced once a week and a grand prizewinner will
be announced once a month. Sweepstakes winners will receive a Jewish Basketball Hall
of Fame Poster and DVD while grand prizewinners will receive a tee shirt in addition
to the other prizes.

The only place to enter the sweepstakes is on the http://www.jewishhoopstars.com
website. The site contains descriptions and photographs of over thirty of the
leading Jewish basketball players of the twentieth century, including Dolph Schayes,
Rudy La Russo, Lennie Rosenbluth, Larry Brown, Max Zaslofsky and Nancy Lieberman.

The DVD, which has earned critical acclaim by reviewers, such as Dr. Jeffrey S.
Gurock, Michael Feldberg PhD and Eliezer Cohen, is distributed by The National
Center for Jewish Film /Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.

"We are very pleased with the warm reception our DVD is receiving from the public,
says Izzi Lifschutz, a member of the joint venture that produced the DVD. Izzi is a
one-time filmmaker and player at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

"People are not aware of what a big contribution Jews have made to sports," Izzi
reports. "That's why jewishhoopstars.com and the Jewish Basketball Hall of Fame DVD
are full of the history of these amazing athletes."

According to Izzi, the DVD is an ideal fundraiser. In late October the Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame located in Commack, Long Island will be using the DVD as part of
a symposium it is conducting on Jewish Basketball Players. . Dolph Schayes, a member
of the Jewish Basketball Hall of Fame, is one of the scheduled speakers at the
symposium.
