2nd Annual Shoot for a Cure - St. Louis

Trying to improve on last year's success was quite a challenge, but Mark Ebert and the rest of Phi Delta Theta of Saint Louis University worked for months to produce the 2nd Annual Shoot for a Cure Golf Tournament. Held once again at the Far Oaks Golf Club in Caseyville, IL, this year's tournament featured bigger and better prizes including a gorgeous motorcycle, courtesy of Kawasaki of St. Louis, which was raffled off during the award ceremony.
