Those that have helped us make it possible
The BEE PAYNE-STEWART STRUT is a special community wide fundraising project and partnership event. The Strut raises money for the women’s athletic programs at Drury, Evangel, and Missouri State. It also provides funds for the Springfield-Greene County Park Board Youth Programs and WIN for Springfield. Money raised through the Strut allows these programs to continue to grow and excel.
This is a unique opportunity to assist and support five different programs that increase awareness and funding for girl’s and women’s sports in the Greater Springfield Area. The funds raised provide a strong foundation for girls and women's athletics in the Greater Springfield Area.
Honorary Co-Chairs for the 5th Annual BEE PAYNE-STEWART STRUT are Susan Daniels and Lora Thomas, daughters of Bee Payne-Stewart. The theme of this year's Strut is "Hats Off to the Strut". Participants are encouraged to wear hats, the more creative the better!
BEE PAYNE-STEWART
Bee Payne-Stewart was a passionate supporter for women in leadership and sports. She was the first woman president of the Springfield-Greene County Park Board and a financial supporter for many women’s athletic needs in Springfield. WIN is excited to keep Bee’s passion alive through this unique community event.
HOW THE STRUT WORKS
Team captains are recruited. They recruit a team of walkers. Each member of the team contacts people they know to obtain donations to support their walking. These donations apply to the individual and team’s total, which qualify them for team prizes.
