Chamber Presents $34,000 To Kainos - Largest Amount Ever!

REDWOOD CITY, CA - August 31, 2006 ­ A $34,000 check was presented to Redwood City based
Kainos Home & Training Center for Adults with developmental disabilities. The proceeds come as a result of the success of the 2006 Wells Fargo Benefit Golf Tournament held in May, which is sponsored by the Redwood City-San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce.

This check represents the largest one time donation that Kainos receives the entire year. Although the Chamber of Commerce benefits equally, it is very unusual that one non-profit would contribute such a large amount to another. Tournament Co-Chair and Past Chamber Chairman of the Board John Adams, in presenting the check said, "We are proud of the relationship that we have with Kainos. It's a great cause and one that we as the Chamber really believe in and feel motivated to help as much as we can."

Kainos Executive Director, Andy Frisch in accepting the check on behalf of Kainos thanked the Chamber and the golf committee profusely. He said that the contribution means so much to Kainos in enabling them to continue to do the work they do to help adults with developmental disabilities become
contributing members of the community. Frisch particularly expressed his appreciation to John Adams, Executive Vice President, Northern Division Area Manager and Wells Fargo for their Title Sponsorship of the tournament and all the Tournaments Corporate Underwriters.

The $34,000 check was presented at the Chamber's Invitational Golf Committee Meeting held in August.
