Summit Environmental's FlameOut(R) to Help Fuel Donations to Several Motor Sports Community Charities

Company Partners With 'Chase For Charity' Event at Atlanta Motor Speedway

LONGVIEW, Texas, Oct. 6 -- Summit Environmental Corporation, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: SEVT) is partnering with the inaugural "Chase for Charity" raffle program at this year's Bass Pro Shops 500 NEXTEL Cup race weekend on Oct. 27-29 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. This first-of-its-kind raffle gives racing fans the chance to win exciting prizes and racing memorabilia while raising money for a number of NASCAR Driver Charities supported by the Tony Stewart Foundation, the Kenny Irwin Jr. Foundation, the Dale Jarrett Foundation, and Speedway Children's Charities, all of which help children and families in need.

With over 250,000 fans expected at the Atlanta Motor Speedway during race weekend, Chase for Charity is intended to be the largest motorsport raffle of its kind. Each person purchasing a raffle ticket will be an instant winner, by redeeming their raffle ticket stub for one can of Summit Environmental's popular FlameOut(R) aerosol fire extinguisher. Chase for Charity entered into a bulk-purchasing agreement with Summit for the cans. The company reduced its price as its form of support for the charities. In addition to the cans of FlameOut(R), each participant in the raffle will be entered to win one of over a hundred other valuable and interesting prizes.

"Many of our loyal FlameOut(R) customers are big NASCAR fans, so working with the NASCAR driver charities and Chase for Charity enables us to join with those customers and together support the good works of these organizations," said Summit Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Keith Parker. "Our participation also enables us to reach thousands of new customers in the motor sports community because everyone who buys a raffle ticket will receive our product as well."

Summit's partnership with Chase for Charity is supported with a direct- mail advertising campaign that will reach 200,000 homes in the greater Atlanta area after the race weekend in support of Fire Prevention Month and the upcoming pre-Christmas shopping season. The advertising piece will include images of FlameOut(R) and promote its participation in the Chase for Charity during the NEXTEL Cup race weekend.

FlameOut(R) is unlike any other fire extinguishing product because of its unique chemical properties that are proven effective to stop spot fires and more importantly prevent them from spreading or rekindling. The components of FlameOut remove the oxygen, which smothers the fire, removes the heat to cool the fire, and encapsulates the fuel in order to inhibit re-ignition.

This innovative product is as easy to use as other household aerosols. The chemically concentrated foam in the can, FlameOut(R) Fire Suppressor, is non- toxic and is a certified replacement for the ozone-depleting, globally banned fire-fighting agent Halon. FlameOut(R) Fire Suppressor is one of the most environmentally friendly products approved by the United States Forest Service and used on forest and wildland fires.

Summit Environmental Corporation, Inc., (http://www.summitenvironmental.com/), based in Longview, TX, markets and distributes biodegradable, non-toxic chemical products and fire suppression agents in which the patent and intellectual property rights are held by Summit. The company is committed to creating products to aid in reducing environmental poisoning mainly in the areas of fire-fighting soil and water remediation due to the use of toxic agents causing chemical pollution originating from previous lack of viable alternatives.
