The tournament benefits the Stephen M. West Memorial Foundation, which provides tuition assistance for families in need at St. Joan of Arc School (now South City Catholic Academy) and CBC High School. Through the foundation, the Wests have also established an endowed scholarship at Rockhurst University.
