FORT WORTH, Texas-( Business Wire )-

Teletouch Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: TLLE), a premier U.S. wireless services, cellular, consumer electronics and public safety equipment provider, today announced that it is honored, for the fourth year, to support the Kraddick Foundation dba “Kidd’s Kids” annual trip to Walt Disney World® for terminally and chronically ill children. Founded in 1991 by nationally syndicated morning show personality, Kidd Kraddick, host of Kidd Kradick In The Morning®, Kidd’s Kids mission is making a difference in the lives of children with special medical needs.

“I founded Kidd's Kids with the hope of making a difference in the lives of terminally and chronically ill children. Each year, Kidd's Kids offers five amazing days of suspended reality to children whose lives have been ravaged by disease. Kidd's Kids children and their families are given the chance to experience the exuberance of being ‘normal.’ That is the gift that we all offer by supporting the Kidd's Kids organization,” said Kraddick.

Kraddick continued, “As a 501(3)(c) organization, we work hard throughout the year to raise the funds necessary to send these special kids on an all-expenses paid, fun-filled, vacation to Walt Disney World in Florida. Most of our funding comes from donations made by listeners to the Kidd Kraddick In The Morning radio show, corporate sponsors, and various fundraising events. We very much appreciate the financial and technical support again this year being provided to us by Teletouch-Hawk Electronics.”

“Four years ago, we were asked by Kidd and his team to provide cellular equipment and services for this very special trip, so that the families, medical team and Kidd’s volunteer staff could stay instantly connected anywhere, anytime at Disney World,” stated T. A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr., President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Teletouch. “This year, we also provided new digital cameras and SD cards so that each of the families can record their memories of this exciting time. We are so humbled to be a part of this wonderful program and to support these beautiful children and their families.”
