Steve Quast worked behind the scenes to create marketing initiatives and events for Chicago institutions and businesses including the Cubs, the Bears, Goose Island Beer, the DePaul Blue Demons, WGN Radio, the Chicago Flower and Garden Show and WFMT Radio.
A big Chicago sports fan, his clients included all-time Cubs greats Ron Santo and Ryne Sandberg. It was Mr. Quast who convinced Ron Santo to expand his charity work for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by hosting a golf tournament. The Ron Santo Golf Experience was held annually for 16 years, until Santo’s death in 2010, and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for diabetes research.
