Dream Chasers

For over 45 years, the South Dakota Hall of Fame has sought to honor, recognize, and distribute the stories of everyday people who have found the strength to chase their dreams and overcome the obstacles they faced along the way. Just as sunflowers chase the sun, these Dream Chasers stand tall and chase their dreams day after day, year after year. The 700-plus inductees in the Hall of Fame come from all backgrounds and corners of our state. These Dream Chasers serve as inspiration for us all to strive for excellence and chase our own dreams today, tomorrow, and well into the future. Thus, our mission to Champion a Culture of Excellence in South Dakota continues.
