According to Ruta Lee, Thalians Chairman of the Board, "For 55 years The
Thalians and our Galaxy of Stars have shone a spotlight on Mental illness --
from pediatrics through geriatrics -- taking the disease out of darkness into
the light of healing. We now aim to heal the mind and spirit of America's
wounded warriors. Please join us for this spectacular star-studded event and
help us care for our heroic young men and women to whom we owe unending thanks."

According to Dr. Timothy Miller, "Since we launched Operation Mend in October
2007, we have operated on nearly 40 patients, most of them severely injured by
roadside explosives while serving in the Middle East. Among the most profound
effects we see as they undergo many surgeries are the changes in their
personalities. We are expan ding the program's services to include advanced
treatment for traumatic brain injury, and, in collaboration with the United
States Army Institute of Surgical Research, we are participating in a project
called Save a Life to prevent suicide and improve soldiers' overall
psychological health and functioning."

According to Kira Reed Lorsch, President of The RHL Group, "This event
represents the beginning of a new era for The Thalians. We are very excited to
be producing this event at the Playboy Mansion and hope that we can attract more
than 1,000 guests who care about the mental health of our returning vets."
