LAS VEGAS, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at

12 noon, Hulk Hogan will be honored by National Indian Gaming Association

(NIGA) Chairman Ernie Stevens, Jr. in conjunction with the Global Gaming

Expo 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. He will receive the "Humanitarian Award" for

his work on behalf of the "Dreamseekers" Foundation.

    Hulk and Dreamseekers have committed to building the non-profit

organization in partnership with Indian Country to provide needed

assistance to Native American youth and their families.

    Hulk Hogan, one of the most successful entertainment personalities and

Executive Producer/host of the "Celebrity Championship Wrestling" series on

CMT, will participate in the foundation's activities by providing a

familiar public face in Indian Country.

    The Dreamseekers Foundation hopes to provide a significant amount per

annum to tribal nations that face adversities such as poverty, violence and

lack of various resources. "We're specifically focusing on efforts to

improve healthcare and education for Native youth," said Ernie Stevens Jr.,

co-founder of the foundation.

    The Hulkamania Experience(TM), a multilevel progressive video-slot

series based on the adventures of the iconic superstar, is expected to

debut at the 2008 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas. As a part of the

foundation's fundraising initiative, a portion of the proceeds from The

Hulkamania Experience(TM) will go towards the various health and education

initiatives yet to be determined by the foundation.

    The game, developed in conjunction with Rainmaker Gaming Technology and

ID Interactive, LLC, represents a fundamentally new approach towards

community involvement in Indian Country. "We're thrilled to work with such

a worthy cause, and such an incredible superstar," said ID's Director of

Marketing, Ike Mcfadden.

    "American Indian children are more likely to live in poverty than any

other racial or ethnic group in this country," Hogan noted, citing recent

U.S. Census Bureau data. "It's time to change that, and I'm proud to be

associated with that effort," said Hulk Hogan.

    KEY DATA / NEWS HOOKS:

    -- Nearly a third of all American Indian and Alaska Native children

live in poverty

    -- 32.8 percent of Native American children in single-parent homes live

below the poverty level. This is the highest rate among minorities, and

more than twice the rate for White children in similar homes.
