Sparks will present Mills, the national spokesperson for Running Strong for American Indian Youth, with the Christian Relief Service Charities Humanitarian Award. Along with Running Strong, Christian Relief Service Charities also supports the Cheyenne Youth Project.

Both projects help meet the immediate needs of food, water and shelter for Indian people in South Dakota.

This winter, Running Strong for American Indian Youth provided matching grants of $4,000 to $5,000 for emergency heating assistance to each of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation's nine districts. Last year, the heating program provided heating assistance to 801 families and 152 families on the Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River reservations, respectively.

Tickets are $125. For information or tickets, call Shana Inofuentes at 1-703-317-9086.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
