South Dakota Salutes is honoring first responders, veterans, and their families through meaningful support and lasting impact.

Born out of an idea between friends, South Dakota Salutes is building on our state's long history of support for first responders, veterans, and their loved ones.

Each year, South Dakota Salutes holds a marksmanship competition at Hunter's Pointe Shooting Club to show appreciation for first responders and raise money for their grantmaking activities. The two-day event provides fun, food, and community for first responders, military veterans, and their families. "We wanted to do something to show them appreciation in a way that they can see and feel," said Tony Bour, co-founder of South Dakota Salutes.
