Thank You to Our 2024 Honors Ceremony Sponsors

We are proud to uplift excellence during our upcoming annual Honors Ceremony weekend as well as celebrate 50 years of excellence as an organization. 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 13 and 14 as we honor Bryan Akipa (Arts and Entertainment), Jim Entenman (Professional), Jeff Hazard (1955-2019) (General), Hugh Ingalls (Agriculture), Arlouine Gay Kingman (Education), Jan Manolis (General), Judith Knittel Meierhenry (Professional), Dr. Peggy Gordon Miller (Education), Greg Sands (Business), and Dean Sorenson (Arts and Entertainment).

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 and supporters who helped this celebration come to life. 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.
