Tour Proceeds Benefit Local Red Cross Chapters Across America

WASHINGTON, September 25, 2003 - Tim McGraw and the American Red
Cross today announced that proceeds from the tour, "Tim McGraw and
The Dance Hall Doctors' ONE BAND SHOW" totaling $43,000 will be
donated to the Red Cross chapters in cities along the band's March -
June tour. Funds were raised locally in each tour market from ticket
sales and selected tour merchandise. The benefiting chapters will use
the donation to promote awareness, emergency preparedness and
disaster relief in their communities.

This donation comes at a time of serious need for the Red Cross. The
Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to respond
immediately to disasters nationwide providing shelter, food, water
and comfort to victims, is at a critical low. The organization has
spent more to provide relief in the past year than it has raised in
donations.

"We are living in a time where people need to stick together and help
one another," said McGraw. "The Red Cross provides a critical role in
disaster response in this country. This donation is one way that we
can help ensure that individuals and families get the help they need
when disaster strikes. I hope that our fans will also be touched by
the good work of the Red Cross and be inspired to support the
organization's work in whatever way they can."

"Tim McGraw's generosity is heartwarming," said Marsha J. Evans,
President and CEO of the American Red Cross. "Tim McGraw and the Red
Cross make great music!"

Governed by volunteers and supported by community donations, the
American Red Cross is a nationwide network of nearly 1,000 chapters
and Blood Services regions dedicated to saving lives and helping
people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Led by 1.2
million volunteers and 30,000 employees, the Red Cross annually
mobilizes relief to families affected by more than 67,000 disasters,
trains almost 12 million people in lifesaving skills and exchanges
more than a million emergency messages for U.S. military service
personnel and their families. The Red Cross is the largest supplier
of blood and blood products to more than 3,000 hospitals across the
nation and also assists victims of international disasters and
conflicts at locations worldwide.
