BROKER BOXING
May 24, 2010
Is there a sum you wouldn't pay to see brokers, contractors, architects, and subcontractors beat each other senseless (for charity)? The Broker Boxing Federation held its 7th annual event on Thursday, drawing 1,200 screaming fans to the House of Blues. | |
International Contractors' Scott Leadbetter and Linden Group Architects' Michael Spinazzola kicked off the night with a three-round battle. Michael won by just one point. Proceeds went to City of Hope and Threshholds. Event reps tell us that BBF 2010 matched last year's fund-raising totals. | |
Newmark Knight Frank's Richie Klein and Leopardo's Rick DuPraw rocked the VIP section. Richie is also the commissioner of the Downtown Real Estate Softball League, where Camin Tomasz Kritt remains the only unbeaten team, and Tishman Speyer just won its first game since 1987. | |
Round eight pitted Steinco's Justin Smith against Bulley & Andrew's Patrick O'Brien. Bulley & Andrews is currently working on projects at the Old Town School of Music, Rush Presbyterian Hospital-St. Luke's Medical Center, and St. Francis Academy in Wheaton. |
