The Yellow Jacket Foundation

Who We Are

  • The Yellow Jacket Foundation was created September 19, 1974 to support Black Hill State student-athletes. Since the foundation's inception, contributors have been the driving force in both funding for athletic scholarships and improving athletic facilities.
  • Through various endeavors such as tailgating, auctions, golf tournaments, concessions, ticket sales, sports camps, outright donations and other events, the Yellow Jacket Foundation funds all athletic scholarships given to Black Hills State student-athletes.
  • Supports athletic facilities and supports the athletic operating budget such as program expenses.
  • The Yellow Jacket Foundation currently funds the equivalent of 39 of the NAIA maximum 93 scholarships. Discover more information on becoming a contributor to student-athlete scholarships.

 

Our Mission

The mission of The Yellow Jacket Foundation is to support Black Hills State and the Department of Athletics by encouraging, receiving and managing gifts for athletic scholarships, facilities and operations. The Yellow Jackets thrive on the contributions provided by The Yellow Jacket Foundation.
