REXCORP NAMED TITLE SPONSOR OF ISLANDERS INSPIRE

As you sit in your seat at today's game you'll see the smiling faces of countless children from all around Long Island. Chances are, a good number of them are here because of RexCorp and it's commitment to Islanders Inspire.

Soon after the inception of Islanders Inspire, which offers area businesses and individuals a unique opportunity to give area children memories that will last a lifetime by sending them to Islanders home games, RexCorp Realty Corp. jumped at the chance to sign on as the program's title sponsor.

"We are proud to support RexCorp Islanders Inspire," said Scott Rechler, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RexCorp. "Our company is committed to enhancing the communities where we operate, and this program will give children in our region an unforgettable day at a National Hockey League game."

Mr. Rechler continued, "Personal integrity and a commitment to personal best are what we seek to transmit to a new generation of youngsters through this program. Hopefully, by showing these kids how the Islanders work together on the ice, we can demonstrate how hard work and teamwork can make a difference in one's life."

Said Kimberly Dey, the Executive Director of the New York Islanders Children's Foundation: "Thanks to the incredible support of Scott Rechler and his entire organization, Rexcorp Islanders Inspire will be able to make dreams come true for thousands of young people in our community."

RexCorp Islanders Inspire even takes care of game-day transportation for these kids, which is often a hurdle in bringing larger children's groups to events on Long Island.

More than 1,200 children from Long Island were guests of Rexcorp Islanders Inspire and its benefactors at Monday's Kids Opening Day game.

Islanders captain Bill Guerin and many of his teammates – including Rick DiPietro, Mike Comrie, Ruslan Fedotenko and Jon Sim – were so taken with the spirit of the program that they all made significant contributions once the learned of its creation.

"On behalf of all of my teammates," said Bill Guerin, "I want to thank Rexcorp for becoming the title sponsor of Islanders Inspire and providing us the corporate leadership required to run the best community program in the NHL. We encourage Long Islanders to join us in making a difference in the lives of young children."

contribution of $3,600 provides game tickets and round-trip transportation for 100 children (actual value of package: $7,650). Benefactors' benefits include 4 VIP tickets and complimentary VIP parking, a signed Islanders hockey puck and recognition on the Coliseum scoreboard, over the public-address system during the game and in the Islanders' game program. Groups and sponsors will also be highlighted on the IslandersInspire.com website which is scheduled to launch in October.
