BRIEF: Gabbert Makes a Play for Joplin

Efforts to help those affected by last month’s tornadoes around Joplin aren’t limited to churches and charities, as Ballwinite and former star Blaine Gabbert joined a team of athletes nationwide this week with the goal of raising tornado relief funds.

Simply titled “Athletes for Tornado Victims,” the group has partnered with non-profit groups such as United Way, which will help facilitate the disbursal of funds raised through an auction for a VIP golf outing.
