PHILLY CHARITIES RECEIVE DONATION FROM LOCKOUT HOOPS GAME

          The Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Philadelphia,
     Philadelphia Reads and Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia
     received $210,000 from a charity exhibition basketball game
     "put together" by FAME and Tellem & Associates last December
     in Atlantic City, according to Phil Jasner of the
     PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, who reported a total of $960,000
     was "raised" from the game.  FAME President Curtis Polk: "We
     didn't make a dollar from the game.  All we took was
     reimbursement for minimal travel expenses.  The players
     didn't get any money, other than first-class plane tickets
     for themselves and a guest, and a hotel room."  Previous
     payments were sent to Child Care Matters, Trevor's Campaign
     for the Homeless, Philadelphia Futures, Save the Children,
     UNICEF, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children Foundation
     and the Support Group (PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, 11/13).
