Federal-Mogul Halloween Bash Scares Up $80,000 For Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit
    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 3 -- Federal-Mogul's
Halloween Bash on October 29 for Big Brothers Big Sisters attracted over 900
people who screamed with delight when the company made a surprise presentation
of $80,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit.
    "No bones about it, we are committed to improving the communities in which
we work and live," said Dick Snell, chairman and chief executive officer.
"The partnership between our employees and Big Brothers Big Sisters continues
to flourish as we reach out to children at risk.  Federal-Mogul employees are
volunteering their time to be mentors and we celebrate their efforts tonight."
    On behalf of Federal-Mogul and it's supplier partners, Snell presented
three checks to Joe Radelet, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Metropolitan Detroit.  The first was from The Chase Manhattan Bank for
$10,000; the second from Bear Stearns for $20,000 and the third was from
Federal-Mogul for $50,000.
   "Our partnership with Federal-Mogul has gone way beyond our expectations,"
said Joe Radelet, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of
Metropolitan Detroit.  "Your commitment to our organization is making a
difference as we have dramatically increased our number of mentor matches with
your support."
    At Federal-Mogul's Halloween Bash held on October 29, costumed children
trick-or-treated through the building, were photographed with an 8 ft. Frank
N. Stein character, delighted by a magician, and scared by the frightful
haunted hall.  Prizes were awarded to many of the children for their costume
creations.  At the end of the evening, the children left with pumpkins,
balloons, a goodie bag filled with toys and a trick-or-treat bag stuffed with
candy.
    Federal-Mogul actively supports a year round partnership with Big Brothers
Big Sisters promoting the mentoring of youth by employee volunteers.  For more
than 90 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has been the preeminent
national youth-serving organization, based on a mentoring relationship between
an adult volunteer and a child at risk.
