Austin, TX – January 24, 2006 – UpLink Corporation announces that Ladies Professional Golf Association champion, Cristie Kerr, will make an appearance at UpLink’s booth #6617 at 11:30 AM on Friday, January 27th at the upcoming Professional Golf Association Merchandise Show, taking place at the Orange County Trade and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The first 50 people to arrive at the booth will get a chance to meet Cristie and receive a personally autographed ball cap.
In October, 2005, UpLink joined forces with Cristie Kerr to support her Birdies for Breast Cancer Foundation as title sponsor of the UpLink Birdies for Breast Cancer Charity Golf Classic. According to Kerr, "We’re so pleased that UpLink chose not only to support a great cause by sponsoring our tournament, but also worked hands-on to help us run the event using their GPS system, ensuring that all players had a great experience." The event raised more than $100,000 towards finding a cure for breast cancer, and Uplink is pleased to continue its support by taking donations for Cristie’s foundation at its booth throughout the show.
At the show, UpLink will also debut INOVA, the world’s first widescreen dashview GPS and intelligent car control solution.

About Birdies for Breast Cancer
Cristie Kerr founded Birdies for Breast Cancer, Inc., a Florida-based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. Having been deeply affected by her mother’s painful struggle to recovery, Cristie wanted to do whatever she could to fight the disease. Birdies for Breast Cancer was formed for the purpose of supporting breast cancer research. Cristie donates $50 for every birdie she makes in competition.
