3rd Annual Draggin' with Hawgs and
Rods Make-A-Wish Fundraiser
The Pierre Area / Central South Dakota, Region 2, committee
of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Dakota is holding
their 3rd annual “Draggin’ with Hawgs and Rods”
fund raising event. The event will once again be held in
conjunction with the drag races at Oahe Speedway on
Saturday, June 9. In addition to the drag races, the
Streetmasters car club of Pierre will be displaying their
cars at the track. Last year’s inaugural event raised over $15,000 to
help fund wishes granted to children in South Dakota
suffering with life-threatening medical conditions. Money
raised last year was from business and individual sponsors,
personal and business donations, and a portion of the
proceeds from the drag races, and donated
winnings from the drivers competing in the drag races.
Sponsorships for this year’s event are Gold - $1,000 and up;
Silver - $500-$999; and Bronze - $250-$499. Any and all
donations below $250 and certainly welcomed and appreciated.
Sponsorships and donations can be made by contacting Darlene
Reinke at 223-2111 or by sending them to Darlene at PO Box
460, Pierre, SD 57501.
The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to grant wishes
to children suffering with life-threatening medical
conditions to enrich the experience with hope, strength, and
joy. The statewide organization has the state divided
into 9 regions of which Pierre is in Region 2. All
regions assist with fundraising efforts to grant the
heartfelt wish of any child that is qualified by their
physician who states that their illness is a progressive,
degenerative, or malignant medical condition that has placed
the child’s life in jeopardy. It’s important to note
that all money raised in South Dakota, stays in South Dakota
for South Dakota children.
The only way a very sick child can be granted a wish, a
dream of a lifetime, is through donations and fundraising
efforts. “Draggin’ with Haws and Rods” is one of the many
events that have brought magic, memories, smiles, and hopes
to very sick children in South Dakota.
