MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Sept. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Marlin Business Services Corp. (Nasdaq:MRLN) is proud to be sponsoring the 7th Annual Sydney Mae Taylor Foundation, Inc. Memorial Golf Tournament & Fundraising Dinner for the third consecutive year!
The Sydney Mae Taylor Foundation was formed in August of 2001 with the mission of contributing to the education and well-being of children -- especially children with congenital heart defects. Sydney Mae Taylor was born on March 8, 2001 with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Sadly, she died a short three-and-one-half weeks later on April 1, 2001. Determined to give her brief but precious life meaning, her parents decided to create The Sydney Mae Taylor Foundation, Inc. in her honor.
Each year, the foundation has held fundraisers to raise money for scholarships, funding for medical research, financial support to send children to summer camp, and financial backing for families who wish to attend Compassionate Friends National Conferences.
With the hard work of the Community Enrichment Guild -- Marlin's charitable committee made up of employee volunteers -- this year's Memorial Golf Tournament & Fundraising Dinner hopes to prove to be even more successful than last year's, which enjoyed the participation of over 110 golfers, and which raised over $20,000 in charitable funds, effectively eclipsing the prior year with an increase of 100%!
The Community Enrichment Guild was established shortly after the formation of Marlin Leasing Corp. itself, with the purpose of Marlin becoming not only a "partner in business ... (, but a) friend in the community" as well. This has been accomplished through the investment of time and resources into the communities in the six cities in which Marlin offices are located, and specifically by providing funds to national, regional and local charitable organizations such as the Sydney May Taylor Foundation, Inc.
The 7th Annual Sydney Mae Taylor Foundation, Inc. Memorial Gold Tournament & Fundraising Dinner will be held on Sunday, September 23 at the Indian Spring Country Club in Marlton, New Jersey.

Marlin Leasing is extremely proud to be sponsoring such a worthwhile event and plans to be involved for many years to come.
