Joseph R. Cerrell, President, NIAF(WASHINGTON, DC – January 28, 2002) On behalf of the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF), we extend our heartiest congratulations to Jennifer Capriati on her victory in the Australian Women’s Tennis Open, this past Saturday, January 26.
On the court, she exemplifies the true spirit of a champion through her tremendous effort. Jennifer fought through extreme heat and adversity in her come-from-behind victory. She serves as an example for all young Americans to work hard and pursue their dreams.
