The Bar Plan Foundation's 2011 Golf Tournament beneficiaries were:

 

Joplin Tomorrow is a non-profit organization formed by five Joplin citizens in response to the May 22, 2011 tornado that devastated the area.  Joplin Tomorrow aims to provide assistance to entrepreneurs in Joplin by raising $10 million to restore the business community. An estimated 450 businesses, employing roughly 4,500 people, were obliterated in the storm. The twister wiped out about 20 percent  of the community while damaging an estimated 75 percent. The fund is different from existing federal aid programs to businesses, such as those administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), because it will assist companies that want to build in the community for the first time or expand or modify the operations that previously existed. The Danforth Foundation contributed the initial funds through a grant on May 27.

 

The Bar Plan Foundation, established in 1993, awards annual scholarships to third-year law students at several law schools. Each candidate must possess the highest degree of professionalism and ethics. The scholarship income is generated from The Foundation's risk management seminars and Annual Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the tournament not only fund the scholarships but also enable the Foundation to contribute to various local not-for-profit organizations.
