A Chance to Support Our Mission Through Two Exclusive Charity Auctions
Every bid you place at the South Dakota Hall of Fame’s exclusive charity auctions goes straight to work—preserving history, inspiring youth, and celebrating the extraordinary achievements of South Dakotans. The Online Charity Auction is live and ready for your bid, and the Live Charity Auction is taking place on September 13 during the Honors Ceremony Banquet. This year, your support directly fuels:
Legacy of Achievements | This program preserves the stories of Hall of Fame Inductees in perpetuity so their contributions can inspire generations to come.
Legends & Learning | A free educational program designed to inspire future leaders of tomorrow by sharing the legacies of South Dakota Hall of Fame Inductees.
Acts of Excellence | This program spotlights individuals and organizations whose efforts are forging a legacy of excellence in their communities, one inspiring act at a time.
