Giving Back for September
Sept. 30, 2020
Giving Back recognizes businesses and organizations that are helping our communities. Here’s a look at who gave back for September.
Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends for Kids
Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends for Kids raised $230,000 for local youth sports organizations through this year’s Legends events. That brings the amount donated since 2005 to $2.575 million. The $230,000 will support the Legends scholarship program, the Legends Foundation for Youth Grant Program and the Folds of Honor Grant. Youth sports organizations are encouraged to apply for upcoming grants by Oct. 9. Priority is given to projects and organizations that have substantial volunteer involvement and missions that support those of Legends. The registration form is available at legendsforkids.org.
Black Hills Federal Credit Union
Black Hills Federal Credit Union collected 75,000 school supplies from members, businesses and the communities it serves through its annual drive. Those items were donated to more than 60 area schools on both sides of the state, including Lowell Elementary in Sioux Falls. Educators distribute the supplies to students as needed.
Holmes Murphy Foundation
Organizations in Harrisburg and Tea have received donations through the Holmes Murphy Foundation Giving Back Program. Employees were able to select nonprofit organizations in their specific geographical locations that align with the Holmes Murphy Foundation giving pillars of youth education for those at-risk, health and human services, arts and culture, and diversity and inclusion. More than $100,000 was shared by 29 organizations, including the Tiger Nation Athletic Booster Club and the Tea Area School District.
