FreeGirl, Inc. to Empower Women Worldwide

BOYNTON BEACH, FL - Nov. XX, 2002 -- Can sports bras and running

shorts change the world? The creators of a new women's sports apparel

line say yes. In fact, their company, FreeGirl, Inc.

(www.freegirlusa.com), is banking on it.

FreeGirl's mission: to promote women's causes around the world. As

the plight of Afghan women was exposed in the weeks following the

9/11 attacks, FreeGirl founders Ron Ryan, Charlie Ramos, and Mike Lee

were moved to action. "The images we saw on the news were appalling,"

said Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of FreeGirl and a respected,

retired police officer in South Florida. "We started talking about what we

personally could do to help women around the world become safer and

more independent, and FreeGirl was born."

FreeGirl's initial product line, available via the Web or by catalog

and slated for release in January 2003, includes high-performance

women's clothing, and accessories for fitness, running, hiking, golf,

tennis, yoga, dance, and general leisure. Through its charitable

foundation, the company will donate a portion of all sales to women's

athletic groups, scholarships for women, and organizations dedicated

to domestic and international women's issues.

"FreeGirl is initially about sports and fitness, but we won't stop

there," said Lee, FreeGirl's Vice President of General Operations.

"Our goal is to become the leader in the women's apparel industry,

which will enable us to contribute to the advancement of women on a

much larger scale and keep women's issues at the forefront of public

awareness."

Ian Berkowitz, corporate counsel for FreeGirl, Inc., finds no irony

in a woman's cause movement founded by three men. "Why should society

feel that men can't be as humanitarian as women?" Berkowitz asks.

"It's about time men stepped up to the plate."
