Gala Event Raises $75,000 for CAC

The 29th Annual Making a Difference for Generations Gala was held March 2 in Rapid City. This year’s event, which benefits Children’s Home Child Advocacy Center, netted over $75,000. 

As a special treat, entertainer Craig Karges gave a special performance for the children at Black Hills Children’s Home on Saturday. He is shown here performing a magic money trick with Residential Youth Counselor, Lexi, who works on the BHCH East Unit. More event photos can be found by clicking this GOOD WORKS link.

What's Cookin' in Construction?

With the new dining hall in Sioux Falls fully enclosed, you may not notice it, but construction work continues. Outside the structure, a local excavating company finished building a retaining wall and the framers began construction on the back deck. Inside, subcontractors are roughing in the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and fire safety. Overall, construction is about one week ahead of schedule due to the warmer winter. Here’s a sneak preview of what’s going on inside!

FEATURED PET: Meet Reggie Wade

My name is Reggie Wade, and I am named after NBA players Reggie Miller and Dwayne Wade. My owner, Jenica Faal, is a Family Development Specialist. Many CHS staff have known me since I was only 10 weeks old. I am about to celebrate my third birthday on March 28. I live for days at the lake or walks along the river. I have been camping with my mom since I was three months old, and I find sleeping in a tent the best place to be. Click on the link to read more about Reggie and see all his fun photos!
