Union night boxing fundraiser draws a sell-out crowd

FLORISSANT, MO – A union night boxing fundraiser to benefit the daughter of the late Darrin Weiss, an Iron Workers Local 396 retiree, attracted a sell-out crowd Jan.15 at the Florissant Civic Center. Frankie D’s Boxing Club, owned by Kirk Douglas, Jr., a 27-year member of Local 396, sponsored the event. Weiss’ daughter Laura, who recently graduated from college, attended the event and thanked Douglas and his wife for hosting it. “An overwhelmingly great night with such wonderful people,” Laura shared on Facebook. “Thank you for inviting me to this amazing event that I’ll never forget.” – Kirk Douglas, Jr. photo
