is to maximize our affiliate’s involvement with our website to generate interest for

          that you provide a link from your station’s site back to www.AceTJ.com
          as well. We request that you link back to that address only, not to any
          secondary or sub-page of the site.

         For each affiliate station, we have a Message Board area set up on our
          website, reachable by clicking on ―Affiliates‖ from the top banner menu.

                        Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids

Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity, created by morning show
personalities Ace & TJ in January of 2000. The name of the organization comes
from Ace & TJ’s motto on their morning show, ―You Grin, You’re In!‖

Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids is designed to enhance the lives of children in our listening
areas who are terminally ill and chronically disabled, ages five through twelve, by
taking them to DisneyWorld with their entire family.

Each year, Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids charters a 737 to take these children, with their
siblings, parents, and health care workers to DisneyWorld in Florida. Because of
their special needs and financial strain, this is an experience that many of these
children and families would not be able to know without the help of Ace & TJ’s Grin
Kids. To learn more and see pictures, visit www.GrinKids.org.

Over the years, Ace & TJ’s Grin Kids has taken over 220 Grin Kids and their families
to DisneyWorld. And during the 5-day vacation, all expenses are paid, including air
travel, ground transportation, Disney Park-Hopper passes, meals, hotel rooms at a
Disney Resort, and Disney Dollars for souvenirs.

During the Grin Kids trip each year, the Ace & TJ Show broadcasts live from
DisneyWorld and shares the stories, the excitement, the fun of the trip, allowing
listeners to share in the experience of a lifetime.

Grin Kids is funded exclusively by listener donations. Some are large, some are
small, but without the listeners, the ―Radio Family,‖ participating in various
fundraising events, the Grin Kids trip would not be possible year to year.

 For more information on how to create a Grin Kids event in your market,
        please contact Grin Kids Administrator, Barb McIntyre, at
            Barb.McIntyre@GrinKids.org or call 704.564.1996.
