The Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends program provides a learning opportunity for young student-athletes to grow and be inspired in the world of sports by providing different sporting clinics and camps. Each year, celebrity athletes who represent the Legends' goals—quality, integrity, and character—are brought to Sioux Falls.

The sessions are conducted by professional athletes and the region’s best college and high school coaches who have been recognized as positive role models on and off the field.

Parents and coaches also participate in clinics designed to help them further understand their role as mentors while sharpening their coaching skills.

Last year, Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends and Legends Football Camp raised $230,000 for the Legends Grant Program for area communities.

Since 2005, Hy-Vee/Sanford Legends has raised $2.575 million. Legends is continuing its scholarship program in 2021.

The Legends for Kids Scholarship is a $5,000 award given to eight outstanding graduating seniors who have demonstrated exceptional character and leadership in athletics, school, and community involvement.

The scholarship program was created by HyVee, Sanford, First PREMIER, and other valuable sponsors to be used for post-secondary education.
