Thank You to Our 2025 Honors Ceremony Sponsors & Donors
We are proud to Champion a Culture of Excellence during our upcoming annual Honors Ceremony weekend, where we will be celebrating 10 extraordinary individuals, as well as our first-ever historical figure. We couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing donors who provide charitable gifts and those who exclusively sponsor select events.
Join us, on September 12 and 13, as we honor Johnny Brockelsby (Business), Greg Carmon (Philanthropy), Dr. Mark Harlow, M.D. (Philanthropy), Michael Huether (General), Dr. John A. Ismay, D.V.M. (Agriculture), Chief Justice Robert A. Miller (Professional), Walter Schaefer (1935 - 2023) (General), David Wayne Snyder (General), Jim Soyer (1947 - 2021) (Political), and Dr. Sophie Two Hawk, M.D. (Professional).
Their induction is just the first step in honoring and sharing all they have accomplished. Their stories are archived, digitized, and shared through the South Dakota Hall of Fame’s unique programs to Honor, Inspire, Preserve, and Educate. The Hall’s mission is to Champion a Culture of Excellence.
This special weekend would not be possible without the amazing sponsors who helped this celebration come to life, and the donors whose support powers our mission and purpose. We would like to take a moment to thank these wonderful businesses, organizations, and individuals who support our mission to Champion a Culture of Excellence in South Dakota.
