The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Honorees from South Dakota

I'd like to introduce you to the Honorees from South Dakota for The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.  The program also chooses anywhere from 2 to 10 runners up in each state.  They are named Distinguished Finalists and receive a bronze medallion. I will be listing them as well underneath the Honorees.

I will give a short description of what the Honoree has been nominated for and then you can click on their name to find out more!
