The St. Louis Italian Open 1994 Promo

www.kieto.com – My good friend Bill Frisella was President of the St. Louis Italian Open Golf Tournament for Charities. Here’s a little promo I did with him for my TV show, Casa e Cucina back in 1994. Throughout the past 37 years the Italian Open has been able to fund St. Louis children’s charities in excess of $2200000. The event raises close to $100000 annually. Sixty thousand dollars of that money goes directly to the charities. Any funds over $60000 go into The Italian Open Endowment. The endowment goal is $500000. Once that is achieved all monies raised plus the endowment interest will be given directly to the charities each year.
