Harman International Supports Dream Foundation Event

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harman International Industries Inc. (NYSE:HAR) said today it will be Presenting Sponsor of the Dream Makers Circle Reception on June 26, 2008 in Los Angeles. The annual event is organized by Dream Foundation, the first and largest national non-profit organization for granting wishes to adults with life-limiting illness. The mission of Dream Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families during the end of life’s journey. In fourteen years, Dream Foundation has granted thousands of dreams. Harman has been a sponsor of several previous foundation events and will be joined this year by Wells Fargo as a major sponsor.

The Dream Makers Circle Reception is an opportunity to thank the organization’s most distinguished group of committed and loyal supporters. The event will be held at the home of legendary songwriter and multiple Grammy Award winner, Diane Warren, who is a long-time Dream Foundation supporter. Joely Fisher, another long-time supporter, will serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies. Other celebrity supporters attending include Dream Foundation Ambassador Priscilla Presley, Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Kris and Bruce Jenner, Kelly Lynch, Jonathan Silverman, Jennifer Finnigan, Mimi Rogers and others. A celebrity performer, to be announced, will entertain the guests, using Harman International systems.

Dream Foundation has earned the Seal of Excellence from Independent Charities of America, which is awarded to organizations that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. It is estimated that fewer than five percent of charitable organizations meet or exceed these standards, and of those, even fewer have been awarded this seal. Dream Foundation helps adults find peace and closure with the realization of a final wish. With approximately 1,400 dream requests annually, Dream Foundation relies on donations of cash, airline miles and other resources to make many of their dreams come true.
