SAN CARLOS, Calif. - Corio, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRIO) (http://www.corio.com/press), a leading enterprise application service provider, today announced sponsorship of a Peloton Project benefit event for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (www.laf.org).

Two nights before the 4th annual T-Mobile International Grand Prix of Cycling bicycle race in San Francisco, guests will raise money for the foundation while eating dinner with cycling celebrities including Olympic silver medallist Dede Demet Barry and the voice of bicycle racing, British announcer Phil Liggett. The dinner is followed by a screening of the movie 'The Tour Baby!' (www.thetourbaby.com) and the Hammerhead's Ball.

The Peloton Project is the LAF's major grassroots fundraising and outreach initiative. Comprised of cyclists, cancer survivors and other volunteers who want to make a difference in the cancer survivorship community, members raise funds and awareness for the LAF in their local communities. In 2003, 6500 Peloton Project members collected more than $4.3 million in donations.

"The tremendous success of the Peloton Project has allowed the Foundation to make great strides in fulfilling our mission," said Lance Armstrong. "This group of volunteers is truly the lifeblood of the LAF, and their commitment to cancer survivors continues to amaze me."

"We are pleased to support a great event for an even greater cause," said George Kadifa, Chairman and CEO at Corio. "There are nearly 10 million people living with cancer. The Lance Armstrong Foundation provides programs and practical information for the individuals and families who struggle to do more than just beat cancer, but to live strong."

"We are excited and honored that Corio has agreed to support our effort to raise $100,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation" said Scott Coady, the film's creator, producer and member of the foundation's Peloton Project.
