Baltimore, Maryland - September 11, 2006 - Mayo A. Shattuck, chairman, president and CEO of Constellation Energy Group has teamed up with golfing great Arnold Palmer to raise money for numerous charities based in Maryland.

This collaboration is the result of the Constellation Energy Classic, a week long (9/11 - 9/17/2006) golf tournament. All proceeds generated by the tournament will benefit the Baltimore Classic Fund, a nonprofit organization which has distributed more than $1.5 million to Maryland-based nonprofit organizations since the tournament's inaugural year in 2003. Organizations benefiting this year include: Special Olympics of Maryland, the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Living Classrooms Foundation, The First Tee of Baltimore, Union Memorial Sports Medicine, and the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins.

"Constellation Energy is committed to supporting the services and events that are important to the communities in which we live, work and do business."
- Mayo A. Shattuck.
The event starts Monday, September 11, at 1 p.m. at Hayfields Country Club in Hunt Valley Md. with a Pro-Am round, and runs through the week. This family event brings together new golfers, established golfers, amateur golfers, and the entire Baltimore community.

Because eligibility for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship is determined by the Top 30 golfers on the money list, The Classic is a key tournament with a $1,700,000 purse, $225,000 of which is awarded to the winner. In addition to Palmer, the tournament features an accomplished field of 23 of the top 30 members of the Champions Tour.

Constellation Energy owes its recent successes to Mayo A. Shattuck's leadership. An inspiration, he has helped Constellation Energy focus on maintaining a strong sense of its core values in order to provide top performance in the following areas: speed, accountability, value creation, and passion for excellence as benchmarks for results and it continues to seek greatness.

The Constellation Energy Classic, running from September 11 through September 17, will be as fun and successful as the first three. This is assured because of the nature of Constellation Energy and its president, chairman, and CEO Mayo A. Shattuck.
