Boston College Students Embark on National Road Trip for Charity Challenge

            Boston Residents Invited to Attend Kick-off Event

  What:  What do a future HBO writer, a former beauty queen from the "O.C."
         and a Lacrosse player have in common?  They're all Boston College
         (BC) students who will be representing Boston and competing against
         student teams from Northwestern University and Texas Christian
         University in the Dodge High Caliber Challenge.

         On Monday, June 5, Boston residents are invited to "Wake Up" with
         the three students from BC as they kick-off their five-day charity
         road trip challenge in the all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber from their
         collegiate town of Boston.  Dodge will give away 500 free music
         downloads from Global Music Project to raise $10,000 for Doctors
         Without Borders.

         In addition to the downloads, students will be giving away fun
         prizes to help Bostonians "wake-up-and-take-on-the-day."

  The event will entail:

         -- Music Downloads - Beginning in Boston, the BC team will visit an
            additional three cities on their way to Miami where they will
            give away 500 free music downloads from
            http://www.globalmusicproject.org/ at each local event
         -- A Donation - For each song downloaded in Boston, Dodge will
            donate $1 to Doctors Without Borders on the team's behalf
         -- School Spirit - Everyone who attends can show their support for
            the BC team by decorating their Dodge Caliber with good luck
            notes and well wishes
