GET IN THE GAME
Join Harris and the Chicago Bulls in Recognizing Local Heros

CHICAGO, February, 19, 2008 – As the Official Bank of the Chicago Bulls, Harris has teamed up with the Bulls to honor Harris Community Hero of the Games, and now it’s your turn to get involved.

The nomination process is now open to all by visiting any participating Harris branch, or logging on to www.harrisbank.com/bulls and clicking on the nomination form. A Harris Hero of the Game is someone who:

• Actively volunteers in the community
• Makes a significant contribution to an organization or the community in which he or she lives and works
• Demonstrates passion, dedication and spirit through commitment to the community

The designated hero receives two tickets to a game, watches the pre-game shoot around from the floor and is recognized by Bulls team captains at center court prior to tip-off.

“It is truly an honor for Harris to have the opportunity to partner with our communities and celebrate the successes of these Heroes,” said Justine Fedak, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Customer Strategies, Harris “Opening up the nomination process to all of our neighbors helps identify the many unsung heroes out there doing great work in our communities, reinforcing that Harris is here to help our communities - and the heroes who support them - shine.”

Those wishing to nominate a deserving local volunteer to become the Harris Hero of the Game may do so at any Harris location or online at www.harrisbank.com/bulls. Heroes are chosen by a committee of Harris employees.
