A bucket brigade of volunteers will also be on-site collecting donations and encouraging everyone to "Buck UP for Joplin". Additional charities supported by Show Me Music Fest include Bridges for Youth, Isabel's House, Protect.org, Developmental Center of the Ozarks, Cox Health Foundation, Ambassadors for Children, Boys and Girls Town, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, and Walk for Wishes.
