18th Annual Pancake Benefit Success!
 Story by Linda Wittrock Eidem, VP Development
 
 
Thank you to all the people that made this event a huge success!  Over 2600 shared a meal with us on Sunday, April 11th!  

We could have never pulled it off without the help of our 80 plus volunteers from outside of our organization and our Achieve staff members.


However, the Annual Pancake event is more than enjoying pancakes. It is also a way for people to learn more about the services offered by South Dakota Achieve and to support our mission of “finding innovative ways for people with disabilities to achieve their dreams.”  Beyond the much needed money raised, this event also helps us share the importance of our work and helps people get more comfortable around people with different abilities!


At this event, we also invite people to become members of the Better Tomorrows Society. This is a group of donors who annually give a total gift of $100 or more to the Foundation. If you wish to join, you can donate online right now using our website: Donate Now!

If you have further questions please feel free to contact Linda Wittrock Eidem at 605-274-1331 or Nathan Stallinga at 605-274-1355.

These gifts help in the following ways:
 
  • Assist with independent living and housing (Rent, deposits, hook up fees, purchasing household items, etc.)
  • Education (computer, martial arts, cooking, living and job skills, etc.)
  • Personal Support (some need assistance 24/7, helping them become active members in the community, identifying each member’s real dreams, etc.)
  • Fund development of programs that open the doors to new opportunities for the people we serve
  • Just to name a few...
