Return Path Announces Philanthropic Partnership With The Accelerated Cure Project For Multiple Sclerosis

Leading Email Performance Company Partners With National Nonprofit Dedicated To Curing Multiple Sclerosis

New York, NY and Boston, MA- November 29, 2005 - Return Path, Inc., the leading email performance company, today announced a wide-ranging philanthropic partnership with the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis, a national nonprofit dedicated to curing multiple sclerosis by determining its causes.

Inspired by a former employee diagnosed with MS, Return Path decided to focus the company's charitable donations and activities on an organization devoted to curing the disease. Accelerated Cure Project, founded in 2001, began as the Boston Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis and branched out nationally in 2005 under the umbrella name Accelerated Cure Project for MS. Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system affecting over 400,000 people in the US and 2 million individuals worldwide. It often results in severe disability including the inability to walk, impaired vision or in some cases blindness, cognitive dysfunction, bladder and bowel problems, extreme fatigue and other serious symptoms.

The Accelerated Cure Project is focused on identifying the causes of MS. For its partnership with the Accelerated Cure Project, Return Path will aid the organization in a variety of ways, including: free use of relevant Return Path services to assist Accelerated Cure Project in its email communications with volunteers and donors; the ability for consumers who receive cash incentive payments for participating in surveys via Return Path's Survey Direct market research panel to donate those incentives to the Accelerated Cure Project; direct cash donations, including 50 percent of all royalties Return Path receives from Sign Me Up!, a book on email marketing that the company published earlier this year; and paid-time-off volunteer support from Return Path employees for Accelerated Cure Project events in New York or Denver.

"Seeing a good friend and long-time employee who was affected by MS was a very moving experience for us," said Matt Blumberg, Chairman and CEO of Return Path. "We decided to rally our employees and resources to support those researching a cure for MS, and the minute we met the team at Accelerated Cure, we knew we had found a great partner."

"Return Path's enthusiastic support of our mission to identify the causes of MS has been a tremendous boost to our efforts," said Art Mellor, President and CEO of Accelerated Cure Project. "Their services have connected us with hundreds of new supporters and helped individuals affected by MS find valuable resources provided on our web site."
