MARCH 17 HOOPS GAME TO BENEFIT MANALAPAN DARE PROGRAM

MANALAPAN -- Trinity Financial, Sports and Entertainment Management
Company and the Manalapan Englishtown Educational Foundation will
sponsor the Manalapan Police Department's "Basketball Extravaganza"
on March 17 to support the Manalapan Drug Abuse Resistance Education
(DARE) programs.

New York Jets legend Joe Klecko and former New York Giants and
Indianapolis Colts running back Keith Elias, both members of
Trinity's corporate advisory board, will be on hand for autographs
and pictures.

To be held at the Manalapan Englishtown Middle School, Millhurst
Road, from 5:30-8 p.m., the event will feature a benefit basketball
game pitting the Manalapan teachers against the Manalapan police.
From 5:30-7:30 p.m., Klecko and Elias will be signing 8 x 10 photos
for a donation of $20 (one of each player; package of two), as well
as additional items at an additional cost. All proceeds from the
night's events will go to the Manalapan DARE program.

"As a Manalapan resident, I am very pleased that my company can be
of assistance to the township police department," said Peter
Grandich. "DARE is a well-proven program that helps our children
deal with the pressures of alcohol and drugs. I've personally seen
the superb job Chief (Stuart) Brown and Officer (Joseph) Felicia
have done a within our schools."

According to a press release, this year 36 million school children
around the world -- 26 million in the United States -- will benefit
from DARE, which gives children the skills they need to avoid
involvement in drugs, gangs and violence. DARE was founded in 1983
in Los Angeles.

Trinity Financial, Sports and Entertainment Management Company,
Millstone Township, offers a variety of financial services and
investments for individuals and small to mid-sized businesses.
Additionally, through the assistance of co-founder and company
consultant, former New York Giants running back Lee Rouson, Trinity
Financial offers specialized financial services for professional
athletes and entertainers.

Grandich is a member of the National Association of Christian
Financial Consultants, and is a long-standing member of the New York
Society of Security Analysts and the Society of Quantitative Analysts.

Tickets for the benefit basketball game are $5 each and will be
available at the door or see your DARE officer in school.

Manalapan has run its DARE program in local elementary schools for
more than a decade. To date, more than 10,000 children have received
the DARE instruction.
