The LIV TO GIVE Community Grant

LIV TO GIVE got its start in 2007 originally as "Kevin Morsching Day," an event held to honor Kevin Morsching who lost his life after a tragic accident. This event raised over $30,000 and launched a spirit of giving, as it continues to give back to the community to this day, with reoccurring donations made to the Arete Foundation in memory of Kevin Morsching and the Scott Grimsrud Scholarship, an award that started in 2009 to honor Scott Grimsrud, a friend of the organization and an inspiration to many in the community.

That same year, the LIV to GIVE Fund was established at the Black Hills Area Community Foundation as a way to give back to the community. To date the LIV TO GIVE has contributed more than $500,000 to many amazing causes and organizations in our community.
