But Fuller emphasized she isn’t counting on sponsors to hold up the foundation without help. She intends for the Gateway Classic under her leadership to be a net moneymaker, in service of its mission to provide scholarships. So far this year, the foundation has made money on every event, she said. “I want to turn the Gateway Classic into a money-maker by selling more tickets and then give the money back to St. Louis as scholarships,” she said. Though she wants to remake the Gateway Classic, she does not want to do it in her own image. Unlike her grandfather, its founder, whose image and voice dominated the foundation and its flagship game, she does not want to become a local icon. stlamerican/business/local_business/article_74b3421a-e98a-11e2-bfbc-001a4bcf887a.html
