Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria to Host June Giveback Tuesday Event Benefiting World's Fair Park St. Louis

    ST. LOUIS, MO, June 17, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria in Rock Hill is proud to announce their upcoming Giveback Tuesday event, which will benefit World's Fair Park St. Louis. The event is slated for Tues., June 27.

Every month, Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria features a local nonprofit charity and donates 100 percent of the earned proceeds from the entire day to the charity. Lunch, dinner, drinks, and carryout are all included. So far, Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria has donated more than $100,000 to local nonprofit organizations.

Funds raised from this Giveback Tuesday event will go directly toward the completion of the organization's feasibility and economic study, which will serve as a launching point for their special park to be created.

"Once the study is conducted, we will not only have a location for the park, but we will also have the hard numbers and information that businesses are seeking, which we can present to government officials and independent contributors," said Tim Buening of World's Fair Park St. Louis. "Currently, our Board of Directors is performing the majority of the fundraising work, along with networking and building awareness for this park."

Established in 2016, World's Fair Park St. Louis is aiming to create a special park that will serve thousands of diverse people.

"Our park will serve eight neighboring states within driving distance with a 1005 accessible playground, rides, attractions, amphitheater, ice rink, and greenhouse," Buening continued. "We will also be providing our wounded veterans and high-level persons with disabilities job placement and expansion phases. Overall, our goal is to make sure that this park is 100 percent inclusive to every single person, no matter what their physical or mental needs are."

Katie's Pizza and Pasta Osteria is open every day at 11 a.m. and features Happy Hour specials from 3 to 5 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m. Carry-outs are also available.
