SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Sioux Falls area Hy-Vee stores presented a total of $7,000 to schools in Sioux Falls and Harrisburg as part of Hy-Vee’s Fuel Your School Sweepstakes this week. Rosa Parks Elementary and Hawthorne Elementary in Sioux Falls both received $1,000 and Harrisburg High School was the recipient of one of five $5,000 grand prizes. The schools were some of the 55 across Hy-Vee’s eight-state region to receive cash donations as part of the company’s pledge to support local education.
Fuel Your School, held in January, allowed customers to support schools simply by purchasing certain specific brands of products. Selected winners earned individual prizes in addition to choosing a school to win a cash donation. In all, 55 schools receive a total of $75,000 and 55 customers receive up to $12,500 in prizes.
“As COVID-19 continues, our local schools are working tirelessly to evolve and innovate teaching methods and engage with students and their families,” said Matt May, District Store Director at the Marion Road and Cliff Avenue Hy-Vee stores. “This sweepstakes is an opportunity for our Fuel Saver + Perks customers to join us in making a difference in our local communities.”
The $75,000 donation to local schools in its eight-state region is just one of the many ways Hy-Vee is providing relief to its local communities throughout the pandemic. Learn more at hy-vee.com.
