Missouri Hall of Fame leaders address budget concerns
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – It’s been one month since new leadership took over the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.
The local non-profit is working through financial problems to become profitable again.
The organization had been struggling to pay the charities money they were owed through the Price Cutter Charity Championship golf tournament.
“We damaged our reputation and maybe confidence. I totally understand that,” said Rob Marsh.
Last month, Marsh became CEO and president of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. He is responsible for restoring the charity to profitability and making the Price Cutter Charity Championship golf tournament successful again.
“I determined those shortfalls and what we needed to add. At the end of the day we ended up with 7 new events that should give us the revenue to be able to do everything we need to do,” he said.
Besides adding fundraising events for the future, Marsh has to take a look back, including answering questions about the organization’s 2023 tax filing. The document states that former executive director, Jerald Andrews made over $1.2 million.
Marsh said, “It was a retirement account that he had that the hall of fame had nothing to do with in the sense of paying out the distributions. It was a retirement investment.
Marsh says the tax form was filled out incorrectly. The figures should have been entered in the retirement and other deferred compensation column rather than the base compensation column.
“I’m not 100% sure on that as I’m learning still about the forms of 990s and stuff of non-profits. This was all news to me as well. But I knew that something was wrong when it was first announced. Obviously I knew that that wasn’t the case and there had to be some explanation for it,” he said.
Marsh says his focus is getting the charities the money they’re owed and revamping the tournament.
“I understand profit loss and I understand numbers really, really well. Although what had happened in the last 2 years, the intentions were great. There were a lot of great ideas and all that but at the end of the day you got to be able to afford to do it,” he said. “We should be able to meet those obligations. I’m not going to stop until I do. It’s absolutely the right thing to do and it’s one of the reasons I took this job.
We asked about the status of the Hall of Fame museum. Marsh says it will still be a while before it opens, as renovations are still underway.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. Here’s how to prep for and celebrate the important holiday.
Problem Solved
Juneteenth is marking five years since it was officially recognized as a federal holiday.
Given the holiday’s relatively recent federal designation, it may not be clear to many what will be open/closed on Juneteenth. Will the post office be open? Will my trash get collected? Can I go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my license?
Here’s a guide to what is open and closed on Juneteenth in Missouri.
When is Juneteenth 2026?
This year, Juneteenth will be celebrated on Friday, June 19. The holiday is also often celebrated on the third Saturday of June, with many events taking place on that day.
Communities use this day to honor resilience, culture and progress through various events, gatherings and activities. These can include church services, picnics, barbecues, parades and festivals, to name a few.
Are federal or Missouri state offices open on Juneteenth?
Given that Juneteenth is a federal holiday, non-essential federal offices will be closed.
It’s also a state holiday in Missouri, so all local governments and state offices will be closed, as well.
Will major retailers be open on Juneteenth?

Most banks will be closed on Juneteenth, as most follow the Federal Reserve’s holiday schedule.
Is the stock market open on Juneteenth?
Both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market will be closed on Juneteenth.
Will trash pickup happen on Juneteenth?
Trash pickup on Juneteenth varies from city to city, so it’s best to check with your local waste management service to see whether they observe the holiday.
Trash pickup can be delayed by one day if the scheduled pickup falls on a federal holiday.
Columbia will have normal trash pickup on Friday, according to the city’s website. Each hauler in Springfield sets its own holiday schedule. Ozark Refuse, Republic Services and Waste Management are not delayed for the holiday.
Are libraries and DMV offices open on Juneteenth?
Holiday hours can vary among Missouri’s libraries, so it’s best to check whether the ones in your area will be open on Juneteenth.
The Daniel Boone Regional Library network in Columbia and Springfield-Greene County Library District branches will be closed.
All Missouri Department of Revenue offices will be closed on Juneteenth, including driver examination stations. With that being said, some license offices will be operating during the holiday, so check the Missouri License Office Locator to see if your local office is open.
