Visteon Joins The Rosie O'Donnell Show to Honor 'Superkid'
    DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 22 -- Today, Visteon Automotive Systems
acted upon a corporate commitment to invest in children -- and partnered with
one of the country's leading child advocates to honor a special child with a
bright future.
    The Visteon "See the possibilities(TM)" Fund was the sponsor of today's
"Superkid" segment on The Rosie O'Donnell Show.  The Superkid segment honors a
child who has achieved something special or overcome hardships, and who has
demonstrated strong morals or character along the way.  Today's Superkid is
Jaya Cox, a 16-year-old sophomore from Memphis, TN.  As sponsor, Visteon will
contribute $75,000 toward Jaya's college education.
    "Through the 'See the possibilities' Fund, we made a commitment to provide
children with resources and opportunities to see the potential in their
future," said Visteon President Craig Muhlhauser.  "We are focusing on
children -- our business leaders of tomorrow -- because we believe that every
child has the potential to shape the future of our global community.  We're
especially pleased to be part of today's celebration to honor this very
promising child."
    The Visteon "See the possibilities" Fund was created to enrich the lives
of children by supporting community-based organizations and other programs
that recognize the needs of children and offer sound solutions to address
those needs.  In addition, Visteon provides information and resources for all
employees to encourage volunteer involvement with children's organizations in
their communities.
    "Visteon has worked hard to build a company that our employees and
customers can take pride in," added Muhlhauser.  "Giving back to communities
and creating possibilities for children around the world is one of our core
business values, and one we will continue to build upon as our company grows."
    With a global delivery system of nearly 125 technological, manufacturing,
sales and service facilities located in 21 countries, Visteon is leveraging
the talents of its 77,000 employees to deliver innovative, consumer-driven
systems solutions to its customers.
