Black Hills Energy sponsors Black Hills Works gala in South Dakota

In October, we served as one of the sponsors for the Black Hills Works Foundation 2022 annual Recognition Gala.

This year, four recipients were recognized for their amazing accomplishments — Richelle, Shane, Shannon and Adam.

Our employee, Bianca, addressed the crowd during the gala. Bianca spoke proudly about how Black Hills Energy is her employment partner of choice and recognized Black Hills Works as her partner of choice for her son, Josh.

Black Hills Works provides multiple supports for her son, and Bianca says she’s seen Josh grow over the past year. The partnership continues and the current focus is on preparing Josh for employment.

Black Hills Works was able to raise over $60,000 during the two-night Recognition Gala.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
