OPAF TO RECEIVE PROCEEDS FROM UPCOMING PRIMEFARE GOLF TOURNAMENT

Washington, DC - The PrimeCare O&P Network will host its Fifth annual
PrimeFare seminar and Third PrimeFare Golf Tournament at the Nashville
Convention Center and Renaissance Hotel in Nashville, TN June 3rd - 5th.
The golf tournament has been re-christened the Ronney Snell Memorial
Golf Tournament in honor of Ralph (Ronney) R. Snell, CPO, FAAOP, a
respected and beloved former member of the O&P community. It will be
held June 3, 2004, at Nashville's Springhouse Golf Club. Proceeds from
this event will be donated to the Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance
Fund (OPAF). Proceeds from the 2003 tournament yielded a $2,700
donation to OPAF.

OPAF thanks the PrimeCare O&P Network for their continued generosity and
ongoing support.

A traveling trophy will be surrendered by last year's winners, and
presented to the 2004 tournament winners at a Friday evening reception
sponsored by Boston Brace.

The PrimeFare seminar classroom sessions, meetings and workshops have
been expanded this year to include a pedorthic curriculum and a
curriculum with workshop for O&P techs. The popular administrative
track returns, with classes on billing and coding, managing accounts
receivable, and a new administrative round table. This year's classes
offer a total of 56 CEU's, with 12 prosthetic credits, 12 orthotic
credits, 12 pedorthic credits, or 12 tech credits possible, and the
remainder in concurrent administrative credits.

We're very pleased to be returning to our popular Nashville location
for the seminar, said PrimeCare President Catherine Griffith. And
thanks to our great group of generous sponsors--like Fillauer, Boston
Brace, P.W. Minor and others--the growth of our annual seminar is
keeping pace with the continuing growth of the Network.

This year's sessions include speakers from Becker Orthopedic, Cascade
DAFO, Fab-Tech, Fillauer, Jim Smith Sales, National Pedorthic Services,
OTS, Ohio Willow Wood, Otto Bock, SPS, Ti-Med and more.

Account Manager and/or Cathie Griffith, President, PrimeCare O&P

OPAF is a 501(c)(3) public charity, the official philanthropy of the
U.S. orthotics and prosthetics community, established in 1995 by the
Orthotic and Prosthetic National Office. Dedicated initially to
providing financial and in-kind support to the 1996 Paralympics, OPAF
now generates its own initiatives through partnerships with individuals,
organizations and institutions engaged in raising public awareness of
disability and improving the quality of rehabilitation medicine, science
and technology.

As a community-focused nonprofit organization, OPAF aims primarily to
enable individuals with physical disabilities-especially those served by
members of the orthotics and prosthetics community-to enjoy the rewards
of personal achievement, physical fitness, and social interaction.

All contributions to OPAF are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of
U.S. law, and annual sponsorships of OPAF, its programs, and its
fundraisers are available to every individual, institution, and company
inside and beyond the O&P community. For more information about
