Bearister Program at Missouri State University
 The 2016 5K proceeds will support the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Foundation and the SMBA/MSU Bearister program. Bearisters are SMBA volunteers who meet with Missouri State students for limited consultation and referral. Appointments are scheduled by the university and take place at the Bearister office on Missouri State campus.
