Oxygen Means Business

Oxygen said American Express Co., General Motors Corp.'s Chevrolet, Johnson
& Johnson and OfficeMax Inc. are official sponsors of its 'Build Your Own
Business' program, a nationwide initiative to award $10,000 grants to four women
who aim to start their own small business or grow existing ones.

Along with the grants, each winner gets home-office computer gear from
OfficeMax, a trip to New York to appear on Pure Oxygen and a two-day
workshop with small-business expert Kim T. Gordon.

Locally, one winner in each participating cable market gets $500 to develop a
business idea.
