Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly announced details of his annual
StarGaze to be presented June 3-5 on the UB North Campus.
	This is the first year the event, previously at Pilot Field,
will be held at UB. Presenting sponsor is French's, a division of
Rickett & Colman.
	"The Kelly For Kids Foundation allows me to give something
back to the community and to the less fortunate," said Kelly. "But
this year's StarGaze will allow me to bring something bigger to the
Buffalo Bills fans by incorporating the 'NFL Experience on Tour' over
the StarGaze '94 weekend. The opportunity could not exist if it wasn't
for the outstanding facilities provided by the University at Buffalo."
	Kelly said the goal of StarGaze '94 and associated events is
to raise more than $150,000 for children's charities.
	"The University at Buffalo is proud to be the host of StarGaze
'94 and delighted to be involved in such an important community effort
to support the health and happiness of Western New York's children,"
said President William R. Greiner. "This is a great way for us to
contribute to the Decade of the Child. StarGaze '94 will not only
raise funds, but will build people's awareness of our children's
needsQan important aspect of the community-wide Success by Six Program
to which UB is committed.
	"We are also excited to be able to share our campus
facilities," Greiner added, "especially our new stadium, with
community members who may not have had the opportunity to visit the UB
campus before."
	The "NFL Experience on Tour," a popular attraction at the last
four Super Bowls (to include interactive games that are part carnival,
part football theme park), will be held in Alumni Arena June 3 (10
a.m.-6 p.m.); June 4 (10 a.m.-10 p.m.) and June 5 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
Limited tickets are available through Ticketmaster locations and the
UB Athletic Ticket Office (645-6666).
	StarGaze comes to UB Stadium the afternoon of June 5, and will
feature nationally recognized athletes and celebrities. Fans will have
an opportunity to watch their favorite celebrities in the Home Run
Derby Contest, All-Star Softball Game and the Million Dollar Shoot
Out. New to this year's StarGaze line-up is "Media Sumo Wrestling. The
victor here wins the chance to compete against some of the great NFL
quarterbacks to win $1 million.
	The All-Star Softball Game will be coached by Bills Head Coach
Marv Levy and Sabres Coach John Muckler. Celebrities scheduled to
participate include rock star Eddie Van Halen, actress Valerie
Bertinelli, Rob Ray of the Buffalo Sabres, Fred Smerlas, formerly of
the Buffalo Bills, and actors Rob Lowe and Jason Bateman.
	That evening, Donald Trump, Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan
Marino, New York Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason, Minnesota Vikings
quarterback Warren Moon, and Bills players Bruce Smith, Steve Tasker
and Frank Reich, will attempt to throw a football from 30 yards
through a hole two inches bigger than a regulation NFL football to win
$1 million during the "Million Dollar Shoot Out." Celebrities will be
throwing for the charity of their choice.
	StarGaze '94 tickets are available through Ticketmaster and
the UB Athletic Ticket Office (645-6666) for $7.50 per person;
children under three are free. Tickets to both the "NFL Experience on
Tour" and StarGaze '94 can be purchased for a combination price of $14
per person.
	The primary beneficiary of StarGaze '94 will be Cradle Beach
Camp, a summer camp for handicapped and disadvantaged children. In
addition, The Kelly For Kids Foundation will distribute other funds
raised through the Community Grants Program, which awards smaller
grants to local organizations assisting children in need.
