Buffalo Grove, Ill. (June 24, 2005) - IPA has launched a new website, http://www.ipachipforecharity.com, supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) through IPA’s annual golf outing, ‘Chip Fore Charity.’

The website, IPA Chip Fore Charity, serves as the information hub for the fundraising event. All information regarding sponsorship opportunities, day schedule, directions, prizes, course details and activities is available. Details from the 2004 event can also be found on the website.

The 3rd annual charity golf outing, Chip Fore Charity, will take place on August 27, 2005 at the Seven Bridges Golf Course, in Woodridge, Illinois, and benefits JDRF. Through this fundraising event, IPA hopes to raise more than $100,000 for JDRF.

"The cure for a disease is ultimately accomplished through dedicated scientific and medical research such as what is being accomplished daily at the Weizmann Institute of Science," said Gregg Steinberg, President of IPA and Co-Chair of the Chip Fore Charity Committee. "However, in today’s world without both major philanthropic support and raised public awareness, a potential cure, only found through research, is only a dream. With the annual Chip Fore Charity event, we are attempting to both raise awareness and bring philanthropic support. The addition this year of sports celebrities to the event will bring greater success to our effort. Likewise, bringing the Chip Fore Charity web site live, with its links to the JDRF website, is another step in the direction of our ultimate goal."
