Winner of First Lexus LS 600h L Hybrid to Be AnnouncedTORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexus and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center will partner once again this year to raise funds for medical research. A fundraising gala, The Road To A Cure, will take place Thursday, November 16 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to benefit The Board of Governors Center for Cancer Research at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute in Los Angeles.
Lexus, in its second consecutive year of participation, has donated the first of only 100 special launch-edition 2008 Lexus LS 600h L vehicles, which will go on sale in the spring of 2007. The first 100 LS 600h L vehicles will offer unique traits such as Truffle Mica exterior paint coupled with Alabaster leather and black trim interior, special alloy wheels, a commemorative interior badge, and a custom-made, three-piece Italian luggage set in coordinating Alabaster leather with black trim. The donated LS luxury hybrid sedan, which features the world's first full-hybrid V8 powertrain, will be presented by Cedars-Sinai in an opportunity drawing with all proceeds going to benefit the center's medical research.

"With cancer affecting the lives of millions of patients and their families, Lexus is proud to support Cedars-Sinai's ongoing efforts to raise funds and awareness in the field of cancer treatments, and to extend its state-of-the-art care and treatment to thousands of patients each year," said Bob Carter, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager.

Cedars-Sinai's Board of Governors and Lexus anticipate that this year's gala event, opportunity drawing and silent auction, with Wayne Brady serving as Master of Ceremonies, will generate significant funds to contribute to the progress already made in the field of cancer research and clinical trials. With nearly $100 million dollars in donated medical treatment per year, Cedars-Sinai's dedication to this cause is unparalleled.

For more information about the gala, or to purchase tickets for the opportunity drawing, please call Laura Fuhrman of Cedars-Sinai at 310-423-7471.
