LPGA, CHICK-FIL-A TEAM UP FOR FOSTER KIDS

     The LPGA has announced that it will return to Atlanta in
1995 with Chick-fil-A as title sponsor of their Charity
Championship -- to be held from April 17-23 and featuring a
$500,000 purse.  Chick-fil-A Chair Truett Cathy said tournament
proceeds will benefit the WinShape Foster Care program, which
provides student scholarships and foster care for over 70
children in seven homes.  LPGA Commissioner Charles Mecham:  "We
are happy to be returning in partnership with Chick-fil-A, a
hometown sponsor, to provide Atlanta with the very best in
women's golf, while benefiting a worthy cause."  A newly formed
non-profit, Metro South Golf Charities, Inc., will produce the
event.  Chick-fil-A is one of the largest privately held
restaurant chains and the third-largest fast-food chicken chain,
with nearly 600 restaurants in 32 states and Canada (Chick-fil-
A).
