South Dakota Day of Giving

Join Brookings Health System Foundation on Nov. 28, the South Dakota Day of Giving, and help us purchase a new advanced life support ambulance! Our goal: have 500 people donate $20 each.

Emergency service vehicles undergo significant wear and tear when responding to calls. To avoid critical failures that could impact a patient’s life, regular ambulance replacement is needed.

Contributions will help offset the increased cost to purchase a new ambulance due to high inflation. The new ambulance will help our EMS team continue to deliver critical, life-saving care.

Why should you ride along with us and give to our Foundation on Nov. 28, the South Dakota Day of Giving?

  1. When you give, you help us bring awareness to our mission: to provide high-quality, compassionate, personalized health care.
  2. The funds we raise will help purchase a new advanced life support ambulance to provide life-saving care in Brookings County and the surrounding area.
  3. Be one of the 500 who gives at least $20 and your impact will be DOUBLED. Thanks to Medary Acres Greenhouses, the first $10,000 given to our campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar!
  4. Each $20 you contribute gives you a chance to WIN a Ride Along to school or work in an ambulance!
