BANKING
The Carl Spackler Open collects upwards of $60,000 for each event. All funds are stored in a Carl
Spackler Open bank account managed by the non-profit Carl Spackler Open, LLC. There are
multiple account holders, but Rick Dosky is our Chief Financial Officer. He collects and deposits
your money and pays most of the expenses. rickdosky@gmail.com
