FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAE INSTITUTE LOS ANGELES OFFERS HIGH-TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION AND COMMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

— SAE sponsors local fundraiser events and educational outreach programs while offering real-life experience for students —

HOLLYWOOD, CA, April 20, 2005 — The world’s leader in pro audio education, SAE Institute, having recently announced the construction of its new Los Angeles campus, has already begun to leave its positive mark on the surrounding community. Through its ongoing sponsorships and support for fundraising and local community-building programs, SAE continues to make unique and meaningful contributions to the communities it inhabits.

One of the first community involvement projects is SAE’s participation in the upcoming “Hollywood Cops That Rock” CD project, featuring a band made up predominantly of LAPD officers and members of the local Hollywood PAL (Police Activities League) organization. The CD, to be recorded and produced by SAE, will be on sale within the community to help raise money for the various PAL programs which are offered to area residents. These programs include a variety of activities for 5 – 18 year olds including sports, educational programs, a Junior Police Academy, and now a chance to take an active role in what will be the Hollywood PAL organizations first official album. SAE will also take part in the Benefit for Hollywood PAL concert at the Henry Fonda Theatre on September 15th, 2005, once again providing onsite audio assistance.

Commenting on SAE’s involvement and volunteer efforts with the new recording, Hollywood PAL Board of Directors member Brian Folb states, “The entire Hollywood PAL organization is really excited about the opportunity to extend our outreach in such a creative and intelligent way. By being able to combine the talents of LAPD officers with the facilities and expertise of SAE, we are able to create a comfortable environment in which we can connect youth in a positive way to the police, as well as providing exciting activities for youth and police officers to participate in together within their own community. These cooperative efforts between police officers, local businesses, family residences and a high-tech educational facility like SAE will culminate in a community-based recording with a powerful message which we will then use to raise money for future projects and other Hollywood PAL activities, so everybody has great time for a great cause,” Folb concludes.

Another such event for the new campus was SAE’s sponsorship of “Bobby D’s Rock to the Bone” Fundraiser Concert event at the Key Club in West Hollywood that took place on March 12 th, 2005. The concert was put together by local musicians to raise money and awareness for Leukemia and bone marrow testing, while providing support for local patients dealing with similar issues. In addition to being a sponsor for the event, SAE also provided equipment and remote recording facilities to capture the numerous band performances throughout the night, as well as donating a 3-cut studio and engineer recording package to be given away to one lucky attendee.
