Bank Clothiers (Nasdaq Global Select Market: "JOSB"), in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Children's Center, today announced the kick off of its annual Miracle Tie Collection program. Pediatric patients and local celebrities will unveil the 2007 Miracle Tie Collection(R) at the 12th annual "Tie Into a Miracle" fashion show at the JoS. A. Bank Clothiers store at 800 Kenilworth Drive in Towson, Maryland at 1:00 p.m. today. The national program, now in its 12th year, raises money for Hopkins Children's through sales of specially designed ties sold in more than one-third of the 410 JoS. A. Bank stores nationwide and through its catalog and E-commerce website. The program continues through December 31, 2007. JoS. A. Bank will donate all of the profits from the sales to Hopkins Children's. "The Miracle Tie program 'ties' together our desire to help our community, especially children, with our skills in developing fun, creative ties," stated Robert N. Wildrick, CEO of JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. "JoS. A. Bank's Miracle Tie Collection(R) has changed lives at Hopkins Children's," says George Dover, M.D., director and pediatrician-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. "Each Miracle Tie artist is filled with a tremendous sense of pride in his or her work, and JoS. A. Bank should be proud of the difference they have made in the form of over $500,000 to support pediatric patient care." In addition, Gov. Martin O'Malley declared today "Tie Into a Miracle Day" in the state of Maryland. The line of silk neckties was inspired by the artwork of patients at Hopkins Children's. All proceeds from sales of these ties will go toward research and patient care at Hopkins Children's. Since the program was established in 1995, JoS. A. Bank has contributed over $500,000 to Hopkins Children's for research and patient care. The Miracle Tie Collection includes nine designs created by children who are patients at Hopkins Children's and signify something important to each child. Each child was asked to draw one of his or her favorite activities or things. Founded in 1912 as the children's hospital of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the Johns Hopkins Children's Center offers one of the most comprehensive pediatric medical programs in the country, treating more than 90,000 children each year. U.S. News & World Report ranks Hopkins Children's among the top three children's hospitals in the nation.
