BROOKLYN & LONG ISLAND, NY – APRIL 29, 2008 - St. Joseph’s College announced today that it will hold its 18th Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, June 2, 2008 at the Plandome Country Club in Plandome, New York. The 2008 honoree is long-time friend of the College, Joseph F. Pellegrini, CEO of William Charles Printing Company. All proceeds from this event will support the College’s athletic programs.

After serving in the U.S. Navy for four years, including active duty in Guantanamo Bay during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Mr. Pellegrini returned to New York and began working for the family business, a printing company established by his father in 1936. Eventually, he and his brother, Charles, took over William Charles Printing Company, and after moving the business from Flushing to its current location in Plainview, William Charles became a prominent printing company on Long Island.

Currently residing in New Hyde Park with his wife of more than 40 years, Roseann, Joe has served on the committee of all past St. Joseph’s College Golf Tournaments as well as all 26 Dinner Dances. He and Roseann have two sons, Joseph and Christopher, and are the proud grandparents of three—Lenna, Lara and Justin.
