COUNTRY MUSIC STAR CLAY WALKER TO HOST CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT

Nashville, TN (November 19, 2007) - Multi-Platinum recording artist Clay Walker will host the 1st Annual "Clay Walker Charity Classic" golf tournament to be held in Houston, TX, March 16-17, 2008, at the Woodlands Country Club.  All proceeds from the event will benefit Walker's not-for-profit charity, Band Against MS.

The two-day event will feature 28 PGA TOUR and Champions TOUR golf professionals, along with celebrities from the music and entertainment industries who will participate in a pro-am event followed by an awards dinner, charity auction and private concert featuring Clay and friends.

"I am excited about our event," said Clay.  "My hope is that we can raise awareness for Band Against MS as well as significant funds for MS research and education. Music and golf are my passions and Houston is my home and I can't think of a better way to create something special for Band Against MS and our charitable endeavors."

Band Against MS  is a 501 (c) (3), not-for-profit organization committed to providing educational information for those living with Multiple Sclerosis, funding programs researching a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, and funding programs helping those living with the disease. Clay established Band Against MS in February 2003, because he wanted to help others living with the same disease he has battled since 1996.  More information about Band Against MS is available at www.bandagainstms.org .

                  The five goals of Band Against MS include:
                  To help provide hope for those living with MS
                  To educate those living with MS about drug therapies and treatments
                  To encourage individuals living with MS to seek appropriate treatment
                  To fund research seeking a cure for the disease
                  To fund programs providing assistance to people living with MS

"We are proud of the strides that Clay's charity, Band Against MS has made, and of our collective efforts to raise funds and awareness for MS research and education.  To that, we are confident that the golf tournament can help us achieve our core goals," said Kyle Frederick, executive director of Band Against MS.
