Children & Families
Supporting What Matters
PREMIER believes that children and families are at the core of our communities.
We are committed to giving our time and money to organizations who support this special mission.
Children's Home Society
Philanthropist T. Denny Sanford gave his first big donation, $2 million in 1998, to the Children's Home Society of South Dakota. He later added $15 million and in 2019 gave another $55 million to help serve abused and neglected adults and children.
Community Zoos
PREMIER celebrates the contribution of our zoos and what they mean to our communities by supporting the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls and the Bramble Park Zoo in Watertown.
PREMIER Softball Complex
We partnered with the City of Watertown to help build a softball complex that would draw teams from all over. Learn more about this private-public venture.
Watertown Ice Arena
A $1 million gift from the PREMIER organization will help Watertown move forward with its long-time vision of a community ice arena.
PREMIER made it a little cooler for children of all ages and abilities with a donation to Miracle League of Sioux City. Our gift helped fund the final phase of an accessible playground.
PREMIER and our leadership are helping fund projects that honor our active military, veterans and their families. This includes providing funding for buildings, family resources and honor parks.
